Graham’s Answer

This is an important topic, especially for those interested in art, graphic design, and other creative fields. My son studied Games Development with a focus on Graphic Art. I've also used AI-generated images for charity work.

AI is both a challenge and an opportunity. Let's see what the future holds, but right now, tools like DALL-E use human-created art to make new images. I once asked DALL-E to create a picture of people eating together. It looked clearly computer-made, and trying to adjust it led to strange results. While AI can do a lot, there are limits.

I believe there will be more ways to protect online graphic assets from being reused by AI. Watermarking is already in place, and there are ways to stop AI vendors from using your images. AI won't easily use others' creative work without permission.

Despite this, AI will enhance many jobs, including those that involve working with images. AI will be part of the tools you use, reducing repetitive tasks and giving you more time for creativity. As Google Gemini mentions, 'AI can help with creating design variations, automating tasks, and suggesting color schemes, freeing designers to focus on creativity'.

I suggest following your passion while keeping an eye on job trends. Mark Twain once said that if you find a job you love, you'll never work a day in your life. Embrace AI for its benefits and be mindful of its limits. Working alongside AI, as a Human+AI team, will be more rewarding than avoiding it. Those who embrace this partnership will thrive.

Jason’s Answer

I think there will always be a place for real artists. AI will change a lot about how things are made and marketed, but people still value that human touch, the feeling, the imperfections, the story behind a piece. Sure, some things might get faster and cheaper with AI, but when it comes to true connection and creativity, working with a real person will always mean something. Art is not going away, it is just evolving.

Consider what Keanu Reeves recently shared in an interview... he questioned, "But will a machine ever know what it feels like to miss someone? Or to create something beautiful out of sadness?"

Ultimately, AI might be able to mimic certain aspects of art, it lacks the genuine emotion and experience that human artists bring to their work.

Eonus’s Answer

The use of art depends on its purpose. I think companies will begin using AI to create images for things like internal communications and newsletters, similar to the background art on websites. This is often seen in the popular Corporate Memphis style. Even before AI, such artwork was usually not the main focus and was often outsourced, using things like stock photos and free clip art.

Art that we enjoy for its own sake, like the pieces we admire in our free time or hang on our walls, will probably continue to be made by humans.
