Will AI replace your art?

When I read Dan Koe’s “The Minimalist Productivity System”, it stirred something in me. Mainly, because of this idea:

We no longer live in a world that benefits the individual who works 40 to 80 hours a week (as a repetitive and eternal lifestyle, not as an occasional thing).

The world is shifting from technicians to creators.

Isn’t this so true?

Almost every artist knows that AI “art” is being created by the thousands each day, and many fear for our future.

Do we have a place in a world that expects art to be generated in seconds?

AI does a wonderful job at creating paintings, that’s undeniable. It’s technically excellent (after all, it steals from all the masters…), and if you’re not at that level, you might think no one will value your art.

AI can do most technical work nowadays. You can create paintings, books, videos, whatever you wish in just a few seconds with this tool.

However, even with all the AI in the world, people still buy art from artists, companies still hire artists, and the art that stick with us is made by artists.

There’s a reason for that: we, humans, are the creative side.

AI cannot create. It can only obey, it is simply a machine.

We create. We make stuff out of thin air, simply because we imagined it. How powerful is that?

Don’t let anyone fool you into thinking human art has no place in the world anymore.

The power is with us.
