AI - It's going to take our jobs... or is it?

Introduction

When we think about the impact of artificial intelligence on society, most of us probably imagine a future in which machines do the work that humans currently do. A lot of this is because most of us have seen videos of robots doing gymnastics, watched videos of machines packing and shipping boxes, or have seen a movie where everything went haywire because robots started taking over. But what if AI went beyond replacing human tasks and started to create new ones? In particular, what if AI began to create art?

The Rise of AI Generated Art

What if AI began to create art? That's a great question but it's already been answered. In fact, it is already creating art, really good art! There has been a growing trend of AI-generated art in the past few years. This is art that is created by algorithms, with no human intervention. Some people believe that AI-generated art will eventually replace traditional art forms. After all, why would we need human artists when machines can create perfectly realistic works of art? And as AI technology continues to improve, it's not hard to imagine the day when AI-generated art is indistinguishable from traditional art. With that said, it needs to be asked: What does that mean for art?

The Impact of AI-Generated Art on Society

So what would the impact of AI-generated art be on society? For one thing, it could democratize the art world. Anyone with access to a computer would be able to create a work of art. But it would also change the way we think about art. Right now, we tend to see art as something that is created by an individual artist. But if AI is creating the art, does that mean that the machine is the artist? This is a question that philosophers and artists have been debating for years. And it's a question that we will continue to debate as AI technology continues to improve. I see this as having a positive impact. Why? By allowing a creative person to describe an image and getting a rough draft spit out, they can work closely with artists to continue developing a piece of art into something that is closer to what they are looking for.

Is AI Art good?

The short answer, yes! AI art is pretty phenomenal when it takes a few descriptive words and turns them into a real piece of art. It does have some quirks and will take a while to get to a final product, but what we have today is great!

Here are some examples of what I generated in about 5 minutes of time.

Descriptions:

• shark jumping out of the water, pop art, highly detailed, vibrant colors
• helicopter, gloomy sky, realistic, highly detailed, photo-realistic
• beach city, sunny skies, Miami vibe, colorful, bright, highly-detailed

Conclusion

So where do I stand on AI Art? As someone who is creating content nonstop, I see this as a pretty unique tool to put thoughts into visual representations. I see it as a way to enhance human creativity, not replace it. The idea that AI will eventually be able to create works of art that are indistinguishable from traditional works of art is an interesting one. But I don't believe that AI will ever completely replace human artists. After all, art is about expression and emotion. And while machines may be able to replicate the form of art, they will never be able to replicate the feeling.
