AI DEgenerative Art?

“An image is worth a thousand words”

Do you need a thousand words to create one single image? You’ll be surprised with just ten words or key phrases, Artificial Intelligence (AI) art generators can bring your imagination to life.

By inputting a short sentence into an AI model, we can condition it to suggest images which best represent its visual meaning. Therefore, this technology is expediting the creative process, shaving hours of manpower, which effectively directs manpower to more productive tasks.

As the creative process is shortened and simplified, will we, creative talents, be rendered obsolete? Will it cheapen our work? Or will our skills be rendered irrelevant in the midst of this tech tsunami?

Us, creatives are not the happiest as we are more vulnerable to getting replaced. We no longer hold the ‘monopoly’ in the creative industry. Amateur designers are able to generate extraordinary works that might be on par with renowned designers’ masterpieces. Additionally, even non-designers are in the game now with AI’s help. Obviously, technology has disrupted the world of visual art and will continue to do so at its unprecedented speed.

So, how do we survive? Rest assured, the human touch is irreplaceable, at least for now. Translating empathy, capturing fleeting feelings and emotions, evoking nostalgia and immortalizing them into a snapshot of reality, AI art generators still have their work cut out for them. Come to think of it, AI art generators are not after our jobs. They are pushing us to redefine our relationship with art.

Embrace, don’t compete. That should be the motto for today’s creative industry. Learn to adopt AI into our work. Make use of it to our advantage.

Adapt, be dynamic. Human touch combined with the vast capabilities of AI will open doors to wonderful uncharted domains of art.

Thrive, redefine the ‘box’. Push ourselves to keep updated with technological advancements. Us plus technology. That’s the new duo to look out for.

Be the ‘superstars’ of the creative industry with AI in your latest arsenal.
