Reply to comment by Ok_Sea_6214 in Midjourney v5 is now beyond the uncanny valley effect, I can no longer tell it's fake by Ok_Sea_6214

It could be argued with a tool like this people would never put in the 20k+ hours to become a master like Picasso ever again. But maybe if the world no longer has a currency and agi has taken sentience and there’s no reason to work anymore would make my point be moot? Perhaps people would spend their time making art for arts sake?

there will definitely still be people who spend 20k+ hours on art, they might mostly spend it tweaking AI art though

or just people who want to be able to say "yeah, I can do this without a robot's help".

You don't need to be a master, you just need pure talent and an AI that can channel that talent into world class art.

In effect skill is a paywall that you need time and practice to get past, and AI just removed that paywall for things like art.

If a tool like this makes you not bother feeling like putting in your 20k, then you probably weren't going to be an artist anyways.

It's about personal fulfilment. There will always be someone better than you.

The cool part is that it's not a job anymore - it will purely be about coming up with stuff for your own, and others enjoyment.

And trust me, idiots will continue to suck at everything. "exucse me how do i prompt the ai to make big bvvoob girl im relly confused its only outputting stuff that lok bad"

followed by them posting 500 pictures that they think looks good but is in actuality low-quality garbage.

moreover because you can't purposefully generate "big bvvoob girl" as for MJ due to ToS.
