With new AI enabled technologies like ChatGPT, VALL-E, and similar being used for transcription and creative development, how do you see these tools and platforms changing the landscape of fine and creative arts? Will AI-authored books be a new genre for example?
Is there such boring consumers I think it will probably remain easy to be a content creator because you'll basically have the same situation is now where humans adapt how much content they want to consume based on the rate of how quickly it's created.
In other words while the content tools will help people create ideas the people will remain better at creating the novel and marketable ideas.
I mean when computers first hit the scene they have the potential to let far less humans create far less content but instead what you have is humans consuming far more content and no significant shortage of jobs for Content creators.
Sooo the automation didn't actually replace the human jobs it made them more prolific. Does humans are like 100% addicted to entertainment I don't think there will be a shortage of jobs in that sector. Basically anybody that has any kind of idea for Content creation will simply be able to get that idea into a product too much faster, but when it comes to actually making entertaining content that's compelling to watch humans are going to remain significantly better at making the content for quite awhile.
Once we get an entirely new genre of games (as example) from AI, I'll be worried, but until they can synthesize something truly new and not a mimicry of previous human work, I don't really care.
Dubbed movies will use the original actor's voice synthesized by AI, and their mouth movement will be changed to match the language of the dub.
So, about 20-30 years ago, digital art and 'desktop publishing' happened. We can see the change this made in the various mediums, significant on one hand, and just another step forward on the other.
There are better people than myself to chime in, but the poor artist blames his tools.
As a writer, someone who, you know, writes, would you prefer to say , "hey computer, write a story about some guys on a thing and then something crazy happens"...
Or... Would you prefer to you know, write the story?
If you're the type that has a hard time writing a story, you wouldn't really be a writer by trade, you'd be more of an enthusiast that needs help.
Fine Artists have only embraced digital art in so far as it motivates their craft. Obviously, every artist is different... Most artists like to arrive at their concepts because, you know, they identify as artists.
If you have some way of measuring change, it might be hard to know the difference, when the outcome is meant to relate to the human condition.
Sure, we will see new approaches to prototyping, optimizing, ideation, mass-content creation. Fine Art tends to be made for humans and by humans, generative art isn't new. Corporate branding has historically been an arms race in fidelity and more recently anthropocentric appropriation...
If anything, AI tech will help commercialize and cheapen "art" for profits as well as create a wider gap between something authentic and relatable.
Ok.. I wouldn't qualify like 90% of the art that people make per year as fine art. Vast majority of art is like cartoons and video game level art it's not like fine art so we're mostly talking about that content and mostly not fine art.
And why are people making this art that you qualify?
I, for one, am genuinely excited to read the comics that 12-year-olds will be able to write and illustrate.
The thing that excites me the most about this technology is that it shrinks the distance between having an idea and materializing it. And, I think everyone has a few great ideas trapped inside them. For centuries, most people just didn't have a high-fidelity multi-media way to share their idea or vision with the rest of the world. With generative AI, some simple sentences can bring your idea to life.
We live in a time where most of the TV and movie studios only want to produce "sure things". So, we get franchises and sequels. But what happens when everyone sitting on a great concept can share it with the world at a relatively high production value and low cost. An explosion of originality awaits.
Won't we be spoiled by endless choices? The value we associate with any content will only diminish in my opinion.
There’s already a million times more content than anyone can watch, but we have ways of socially promoting the good stuff so that it gets traction, recommendations, and people hear about it. This will also mean better content in thousands of niches where there are smaller but devoted fans.
Go on r/gameideas - not everyone's ideas are good. Some are downright terrible.
It has a lot of potential to change the video games but realistically humans are already good at most creative arts in a way that I don't see AI as being super useful.
Our brqins can only really process so much visual detail so I don't think it's going to matter if it's created by AI or humans don't think there's a serious bottleneck for humans creating content either.
So don't think the average person has all that much more time for just like watching TV so there is a limited amount of possible consumption.
I think it's the intricate worlds and rules video games where you would see the most benefit from creative content because events are good at creating art they aren't good at creating code.
Thank you for the question. Artificial Intelligence has already impacted the arts, but I’ll share three examples of how it AI’s impact will manifest itself within the next decade.
First, on the topic of AI-authored books, there will be two waves of impact, the dividing line for which will become less and less clear over time. In the first wave, we will have AI assistance for various kinds of publications where the end products are co-authored or co-iterated between humans and machines. In the second overlapping wave, we will have AI-authored publications where the majority of the content is the product of the AI, edited or confirmed by humans. Lifearchitect has a decent list of the books published thus far, more than most realize. Quality has increased tremendously since the first signs of these publications, dating back to 2017, so I suspect within the decade, AI-authored publications will be quite commonplace (https://lifearchitect.ai/books-by-ai/).
Secondly, AI is having a significant impact on visual arts. Transforming one’s own art into the styles of past artists is becoming possible, although still a bit rough. Art by imitation will take on much different meaning within the next few year. Creating images from natural language descriptions is a work-in-progress but will be commonplace within the decade.
Thirdly, AI will transform music production as we know it. It already is but will enable people to imitate artists, manipulate their voices and have their live performances transcribed into compositions.
Being highly invested in music production myself, I’m very excited about AI’s impacts on the industry, but also very concerned. Music is about human expression of emotions and I hope the human side of the industry doesn’t get sacrificed. There are ways that technology and humans can co-create and “co-habitate”. I hope that remains the case.
It's just another tool. An exciting and powerful tool.
when you combine DALLE and chat gpt, goodbye Marvell and DC.
Nah, quality of the art rendered is like 10% of the importance of if the show sells because the characters and actors are compelling and the plot is interesting and there is so far no sign that AI will replace any of that.
Problem I see is that like watching DC Marvel comic shows on TV doesn't cost much money so the application of AI isn't going to save enough money for the quality loss and is extremely high likelihood of quality loss if you try to like automate content generation like TV shows too much because humans love humans and every show is kind of a soap opera and the important part about a soap opera is absolutely not the visuals... The way the human characters interact with each other in a convincing manner that mimics you know our own social interactions in life. I think people will mostly be willing to pay to see like real humans acting and that means the bulk of a lot of your film and movie production will still be the salaries of the human actors...thus don't see how all that much is going to change.
AI content creation just means cheaper CGI graphics for the most part.

As for the near future I expect things to speed up. Indie filmmakers and small game developers can create much bigger projects easier, and the big corpos can release even bigger works more frequently.
In the far future though, I'm imagining that people are going to mainly consume content that no-one has actually created. Experiencing worlds and stories generated by an algorithm instead of an actual human, perhaps just by a prompt.
In short, fucking fantastic for consumers but pretty depressing for creators in the long term. And as someone who wants to spend their life creating experiences for others I'm afraid of my own vision of the future.
