    It's been argued that machines will surpass humans in pretty much everything sooner or later, and that eventually we'll be outdated and purposeless.

    I think those kinds of fears are looking more and more credible every day.
    People might think that art has got to be one area that would be beyond machine understanding; surely only a human would understand art? But no, AI is getting pretty competent results already despite the tech still being fairly recent. It'll very likely get even better in the future.

      Only if you take "art" to be a purely optical subject (which it isn't). The AI can only produce "art" with human guidance and even then, it still needs a huge reference depository to be accurate (and it often isn't, that painting isn't neoclassic at all with all those diagonals and earthly tones, the baroque as frick background and the general muddiness of the figures, neoclassicism was all about being idealistic and clear minded).

        thats because the ai can only pull from the images that they have been trained with.

          I know, that's part of what I meant, the other part being that the AI can barely deal with that because it's using very non-neoclassical elements to compose a neoclassical painting, because people don't know how to use the terms classical and neoclassical, and this interferes with the AI image repository. It sees realistic or academic painting being called "classical" and mixes up those elements erroneously.

      It's limited by how language factually does a poor job at describing a picture. To get the same results as a real artists, you'd have to enter pages and pages of descriptions for every aspect of the picture. "apple" would requires lines to describe what apple, from what angle, if it's pristine or has flaws, if it's big or small, if it's fresh or waxed. Even stuff like "holding" whould require extremely precise description of the body language, the actual way of holding, with what sort of physics, etxc.
      Want "toriyama style". then you need to explain on what medium, what period of his life, in the style of what other work you are thinking about.
      Even with all that, you still fall under massive pitfalls, for instance "draw X in Y artists style" often just transpose X to a random piece made by Y, it's not the same as meeting the artist and ask him what this subject would inspire to him. Frazzeta sailor moon wouldnt' be flexing half naked on that frickin pile of stone, he would read about her, look at her and create a unique piece for her

    No. The entire point of most art is that it speaks to a human perspective on things. Even if you gave a machine empathy it would still not be human, and would therefore not be able to create human art. Dulls would enjoy it, but you will always have people who prefer manmade things, regardless of context.

      So do most human artists. Nearly all artwork is derivative and takes inspiration from the creations of other artists. It's extremely rare for someone to actually come up with something entirely original, like invent a new art medium that no one has ever thought of.

            It's not about the end result, it's about autonomy from external input.
            A child will create an image of what they see without any input other than their own interpretation of their environment. Give them crayons and they will draw. Give them charcoal and they will draw. Give them fingerpaints and they will draw. An AI will do nothing at all unless you tell it what to do, and then it will only do that based on the data set you give it. An AI without a data set of children's drawings will never create a children's drawing.

                Anons ITT don't even necessarily love the AI. Anyone who comprehends what current AI tools are capable of is concerned about the implications for the society. These image-generation tools are a cool new toy, but the speed of all this technological advancement is pretty ominous too. Automation and AI are soon going to be capable of taking over so many jobs that it's unclear what the future will hold for us. It's not a problem just for artists; it will affect everyone.
                Also, I don't get why you think an image-generating AI would actually have to have a mind of its own before you can find its results impressive.

                Because it's not impressive, it's a machine mashing up images after human input.

                AI isn't even a thing that exists, there are plenty ways to deal with the incoming problem, most of them involve walking away entirely from our current economical system and even then I bet you don't want to discuss that.
                I don't even want to mention how we have far more serious and looming problems than automation. At this point we barely understand human intelligence, let alone creating a completely new form of intelligence from scratch. Looming ecological and social disaster will probably wipe us out before we move a lot further from where we are now, if anything.

              Does that mean you wouldn't be able to distinguish art by AI and an actual child? (For the record, all the houses in the picture above were generated by AI that was mimicking a child's drawing)

              I don't think humans have true autonomy from external input, either; we're limited by the data we get too. We look at the world around us, and photos and art from other people, and we learn drawing principles from art books, and then we apply all that information to create art. Most of us pick a pencil or a tablet or some other common tool that someone else has used before, instead of thinking out of the box and trying to radically deviate from the norm. Most of us also draw in a similar style as our favorite artists. Weeaboos draw in manga style, cartoon fans mimic Disney movies, Eurogays may take inspiration from Asterix or Tintin, people on some online communities love to draw ugly people with tumblr noses, and so on.
              I think the only truly creative artists were the cavemen who first figured out that you could scrape material that dyes stuff along a flat surface in a specific way to create a 2D depiction of a 3D-object. Or the ones who picked up some clay and molded figures out of it. Everyone else just uses the foundation that they'd built.

              An AI that generates images isn't conscious, and it can't function as an independent creature with its own free will. But I think they do a pretty good job at mimicking art created by conscious beings.

    For in-betweening maybe. Not for keyframes. That might unironically be a good thing. It means cheaper production, which means less centralization in the hands of a few large studios. It means lower barrier of entry for indie-creators. You'll see greater volumes of shit being produced each year, but also more diamonds.

      I know a guy working on camera software, mostly to record sports events. They are automatizing a lot of systems to crop images so matches can be displayed on multiple support without having to record the action multiple times.
      Their most recent project is frame interpolation via deep-learning: cameras that can achieve 60 frames per second are so expansive they are usually rented, not purchased. I was told they are more complex too and need trained operators. The idea they had was to allow 30 frames per second be interpolated to 60 frames or anything in between and sell it as an all-purpose solution that would allow studios to film in 60fps with 30fps equipment.
      So that's definitely in the pipes. At least for live events.

      In certain avenues probably, like every corporate illustration job is probably done once this gets the kinks worked out. All the soulless corpo art will become moreso.
      For things that can't be created by simply typing in a set of keywords can't be replaced. Atleast not until AIs are sophisticated enough that you can almost discuss with them like a real artist.
      And of course artists who simply like to create art will always probably be around.
