With AI anyone can be an artist, and this is a good thing.

Using AI makes you an artist about as much as commissioning someone else to make art for you does. Sure, you provided the description of what needed to be done, and likely gave some input along the way, but the real work was done by someone else. There are faster iteration times with AI, but you are still not the one making the art. That is what differentiates generative models from other kinds of tools.

  • Imagine when the commissioned artist uses AI themselves but this goes deep down the rabbit hole of who gets the spread on potential attribution of said "work".

AI can’t make anyone a painter. It can generate a digital painting for you but it can’t give you the skills to transfer an image from your mind into the real world.

AI currently can’t reliably make 3d objects so AI can’t make you a sculptor.

  • We now have wall printers based on UV paint.

    3D models can be generated quite well already. Good enough for a sculpture.
