  • As a human artist/film director/animator/musician etc I view "AI" as just another tool in my toolbox and what a tool it is!

    In animation/film production- studios would have a "TD" on hand- a technical director- a programmer on staff to tweak workflows for artists, build new tools etc-

    Now my TD chills in VsCode waiting and working for me 24/7 in the form of Claude Code, Kimi Code etc

    I can also have my TD embed another TD(Deepseek flash 4.1) into the new tools(making them smarter and more useful) my TD builds for me while I am in active production on the same PC

    All of this allows savvy creatives to dream bigger as a single person is capable of anything a "big studio" can do-

    So artists need to leverage these new tools and be more ambitious.

    Aesthetics are dead- original ideas are it.

  • I’ve started to see (and react negatively) to a kind of “Claude design”. Apps, slides, images share the same aesthetic, and even after aggressive prompting it reverts to a the mean.

    I even create these things. But that aesthetic has started to imply a kind of throwaway, low value thing

    What will be interesting is if models can create more diverse styles than the neutral Claude default we see everywhere

  • Why aren't we seeing a premium soft "Software made by Humans"?

  • A lot of us saw this one coming a while ago. Many, many artists of all kinds have already put up "AI-free" (or similar) badges on their work. I think it will be more significant in the fine arts world, however local art fairs could be affected as well.

    I say the more the merrier, but artists who use AI in their workflows are going to be pressed about it - with negative connotations - for a while. Transparency is the best solution in my opinion.

  • That's been the case for over a century. People pay a large premium for the original even when identical copies are available.

  • I must admit the prevalence of AI generated images has challenged me to be more attentive to detail, I even started looking for small artists I can commission for stuff on my walls, been going to expos a little more... I'm happy if this gives artists a small lifeline away from the more mercantile aspects that AI is conquering.

  • I discuss it a lot with my wife who happens to be a painter.

    For years we have perceived my work (swe) as a safe harbor. With AI boom, tides have changed and now I perceive her work as a much, much more future-proof activity

  • Art was never separate from the person and the culture that created it. It was its soul. Now our lives are flooded with soulless creations night and day--the product of lazy minds and an amalgamation of stolen already-bland cultural works.
