I think right now there are to many wannabe artist out there, just look at how shit the mainstream media is now a days.. and that’s with no AI input at all. Just because you can draw a fucking circle or play a tune on your guitar does not make you a prophetic wunderkind.. the slob we get now is just dreadful shit, fuelled by big corporations and there shareholders, who has no idea why people are rejecting there pieces of crap..
I think that that AI with the help of open platforms like YouTube, will help real individual artist with something to say, to get there works out, with out having to hire a team of 200 people to get there movie, music, invention or games out to the masses.
Sorry to say it.. but if your job is to colour in and draw up animation cells for Disney.. you are not an artist.. your job is just as meaningful and world defining as if you where flipping burgers at MC Donald’s, just at a better pay and longer schooling..
If you are a real artist I don’t think you will have anything to fear.. because art is much more about the idea behind the work than the execution.. why else would south park and stuff like it, be popular?
People who are doing these kind of menial jobs will get other jobs, just like all the other people who lost there menial jobs because of industrialisation. And if they are really artists then they will have ways to prove it with ou big corpo guiding there hand
