King Foom Collaborative Artwork
After retiring from stream, now he found a job in a restaurant and cook fucking good chicken wings in roasterd saus.
“Hot take.
Embrace AI Art.
This comes from someone that basically has two traditional art degrees, and loves hand drawn illustrations more than anyone I know. All I ask is that you all stop latching on to something other people are saying, and not really thinking about it.
“And in a world where it’s harder than ever for artists to make a living”
A problem that has plagued artists (of all kinds of art, ie: music, poetry, etc) since *checks notes* forever. Think of how many artists (again, all kinds) died broke as a joke despite giving us world altering works of art, music, poetry, or stories.
Artists didn’t like the invention of the camera, yet art continued being made. Some people didn’t like the invention of Photoshop, but those kinds of jobs evolved and kept going. This is just another tool for people to use.
Art will always be made, even if a robot can pump it out quicker, and maybe, eventually, better, than a person.
To me the people who complain about AI art have the same energy as film snobs that say movies have to be shot on film to be “a real movie” and “cgi can never be better then practical effects.”
Artists are increasingly sounding like candlemakers these days.
And this is coming from one.
Fear of technology is no more rational now than at any other point in history.
Soon, AI and people will collaborate for the better. This is just the beginning.”
