In actual fact, photoshop did kill graphic arts. There was an entire industry filled with people who had highly-developed skillsets that suddenly became obsolete. Painters for example. Before photoshop, I had to go out of house to get artwork done; now I just do it myself.
No, it didn’t.
It changed the skill set but it didn’t “kill the graphic arts”
Rotoscoping in photoshop is rotoscoping. Superimposing an image on another in photoshop is the same as with film, it’s just faster and cheaper to try again. Digital painting is painting.
AI doesn’t require an artist to make “art”. It doesn’t require skill. It’s different than other tools
Even worse!!! What is consider art work now days are whatever that can be made on some vector based program. This really also stifles creativities, pigeonholing what is consider creative or art work into something can be used for machine learning.
Whatever can be replaced by AI will, cause it is easier for business people to deal with than real people.
Most of the vector art I see is minimalism. I can’t see this as anything but an argument that minimalism “stifles creativity”
> vector art pigeonholes art into something that can be used for machine learning
Look around, AI companies are doing just fine with raster art.
The only thing we agree on is that this will hurt workers
