Is AI our future?

An image is just a set of pixels. The artist is the one who has given meaning to these pixels, realized the idea, or simply broadcast his vision. You are not the painters of the past who had brushes and paints at their disposal.

We use (other people's) photos taken from the Internet, we use renderings (written not by us), we use models (made not by us), we use tools like Photoshop or Blender that have been developed by dozens and hundreds of people, giving us the ability to "generate" pixels on the screen.

Without an artist, the AI does nothing. For an image to come out and reach the artstation, you need a person who conceives it, generates it, chooses it, and brings it here. It's a lot easier than piecing it together from a photo. But it's easier to glue it together than it is to model it and render it. And modeling and rendering is easier than drawing in Photoshop. And it is easier to draw with your hands in Photoshop than with brushes on canvas.

For decades, we've been perfecting tools for one purpose: to communicate ideas better and more perfectly. You have to understand that what makes you an artist is not the tool, but your vision and how you communicate it to others.

You can conceptualize creativity as a philosophical concept or remain hostage to manual labor. After all, we don't draw for the sake of drawing, we draw to make sense out of the pixels on the screen.

Don't be afraid of AI, it's not the enemy, it's just a tool that makes a mediocre artist good and a good artist a godlike artist. The future is inextricably tied to neural networks and generative content. Make up your mind whether you're going into the future or staying in the past.
