How do you think AI will change creative art forms?

by
Had an interview recently for the Create Connected podcast and got asked by the guest how I thought generative AI (like ChatGPT) would affect creativity. Happy with my answer, but I'm curious how other makers/builders/creatives see it, too!

Artificial Intelligence is just an assistant to Natural intelligence. It can perform certain tasks more quickly and accurately than humans, but this cannot be called talent. AI is a machine learning system. It can be programmed to recognize patterns and generate solutions, but it doesn't have the same natural creativity that is associated with human talent. AI is just another tool that artists now can use for creating art.

@rada_vassil1 I appreciate your take, Rada. It seems grounded in the differences between human and machine output. If you don't mind me asking, how do you define human talent?

As AI gets better and more integrated with different products, I see it more of an enhancer for tasks we already do. For example, I can see it being a big part of the exploration and brainstorming ideas stages, to help me think of things that maybe I wouldn’t have considered. So I think it would actually boost my creativity and broaden my thinking.

@mayaa.17 thanks Maya! I agree that AI has a ton of potential in the exploration and brainstorming stages. Interested to see how AI will assist divergent thinking (not just convergent tasks) to broaden project perspectives. Great take.

The versatility of the AI means that you could quickly try out many different styles of illustration and sketches without having to create the artwork from scratch yourself each time. This is a game changer.
Jameson Lyon
@sneha_nair95 Yes, great point! This aligns well with what Maya was saying above about using AI early in projects for discovery & exploration. Agree that it's a game changer. Are you currently trying out different styles?
Rada Vassil
@sneha_nair95 Exactly!

It will change art pretty dramatically in my opinion. It will be a double edged sword with positive and negative consequences. True creatives/artists who will use AI as a boost to their imagination and vision will probably gift the world with art that is truly new and revolutionary. On the other side, the art landscape will be way more crowded and noisy, because more people will be able to make art and not all of it will be very creative or innovative. It will become a bit harder to find real gems. To put it simply, I’m a little afraid of art commoditization but I might be totally wrong on this: still figuring out my opinion ahah
Jameson Lyon
@bakemono I applaud the candidness, and I don't think there's a wrong take on this. As artists, it seems there's a fear of what automation means for things we recently thought hard-to-automate. I like how you've described it as a double-edged sword; that ability to forge into new media can be both exhilarating and daunting. Re: noise. It sounds very similar to how digital tools lowered the barrier-to-entry for things like music, film, and syndication. I agree that filtering the gems will be harder (but also, more valuable).

I think it's going to open a whole new era of creative art forms! Generic Art is now imitable with AI and this is going to push artists to become more creative and experimental.
Jameson Lyon
@mycelebs_elle that experimentation seems like an important piece. I'd be curious to hear how you define generic art. It certainly has me thinking

@ira_m_cassidy_ira good take! Thanks Ira.

Generative art is a form of art that is created entirely by algorithms and computer code. Artists can use AI to generate complex patterns and designs that would be impossible to create by hand, creating new and exciting works of art.
Jameson Lyon
@sidraarifali great distinction of the term, thanks Sidra!

The impact of AI on creative art forms is still relatively new and constantly evolving. While there are concerns about the potential risks, there is also a lot of excitement and potential for AI to enhance and transform the world of art in ways we cannot yet imagine.
Jameson Lyon
@brad_fusion thanks Brad! I'm also excited to see what gets imagined at the intersection of AI and arts.
