BENOS'S PROFILE

AI generated stuff is shit and the beginning of the end for future genuine creative endeavours.

In addition to that, AI itself is a lie, a fabrication, there is no true AI.
Computers cannot create, they can mix and match and even randomisers are done using a set of predetermined parameters. Computers and programs cannot do anything they weren't "told" to do.

It will be the death of art, which has been on its last legs for some years now. Next to no one knows how to draw or paint or sculpt or anything any more. Today, everything is digital. The lack of skill promoted by an all-digital platform had already taken its toll on art as a whole.

But introducing AI programs into the equation will kill whatever was left of art. No one will bother learning how to do anything physical with their hands because they have a program to do it for them. No one will need to think or decide anything because a program is already ““thinking”” and deciding for them.

Images generated by this program are not art. Art has to be made with purpose and meaning, why an artist painted this character in this position? Why did the artist pick those specific colors? The “whys” are the reason it's art. If you remove that human component then what remains is just an image, not art.

It's all rather disgusting. Not a world I'd want to live in.

Yes, the same is happening with music. There was so much good music when you go back from the 90's up to when music was first invented.
But now it's all soulless. When a person plays an instrument there will be a cadence, a certain rhythm different for each person, you may play some notes deeper and have a slight delay in some parts of the composition, you may play certain melodies faster and other slower.
Because you're human!

Making music all digital removes the humanity from it, removes those slight imperfections and nuances which actually made the music perfect and good.

Digital music becomes machine-like, cold, sterile. And once again we have the lack of skill at play. So much easier for anyone to “create” music without having any prior knowledge of music or even knowing how to play any instruments.

If everyone is special, then no one is special. That's where we're going, a world where everyone can use a tool to make anything without any skill and where no one will learn any skills and hence those skills will die since there will be no one to pass them on to the next generation.
A world where no one will have standards due to a lack of different human creations to use as comparison.
A world where everything will have lower quality and everyone will also be lower quality themselves.

Old school artists were made extinct when the all-digital platform arrived, and now the all-digital artists will be made extinct by these programs. Soon there will be no one who can be called an artist. The concept will disappear.
