I have a lot of issues on how AI may be used in the art world, both in terms of graphic art capabilities and in the fine arts communities. There have already been companies and greedy CEOs to skirt using real people’s art by crafting “art” made by an AI, whether that be for video games, live-service update games, or even to be used in contests against other artists. While some AI is understandable in usage – Photoshop, for example, uses AI to do certain features such as smart-fill or replacement technology – I don’t think that AI will have much prominence in the art world due to the fact that most AI companies have such horrible privacy rights and an opt-out feature rather than an opt-in. Iona University’s page shows just how difficult it is to disable automatic learning on most platforms. Most artists want to be the sole creators of their art and not to have other people “double dip” in their work and be able to copy it like this. For this reason, I don’t think generative AI will become very popular in fine art communities. It may be more common in graphic art areas, but even then, studies have proved that using AI images turns off the younger crowd from buying a product or service. Overall, I think the fine art workspace may be the last bastion against AI, so to speak, in terms that it won’t be replacing jobs anytime soon.
