AI's Impact on Creative Professions

…Especially writers who don't speak English as their first language. Especially writers who can't afford translators, designers, developers and marketing people. Use AI as a tool. Use it to reach readers you couldn't reach before. Use it to do things you couldn't afford to do before. That doesn't mean handing over your…

…ering the value of art, and making it harder for artists to get paid. And I understand why that is frustrating. But when I asked what a realistic path looked like for a small business owner who wants to include artists but cannot afford large upfront commissions yet, there were very few practical solutions offered.…

…gaps which you otherwise would not be able to fulfil without a team. Lets say you are a rapper and are looking for a producer but cant find any there are many AI Assisted plugins like Dubler 2 (lets u produce music (midi and drums) by using your voice as an instrument to run vsts through it, its not perfect tho) and…

AI art is absolutely art if done properly.. from an artist Alright, I'll preface this by saying I'm a "working" artist, that's to say it's how I pay my bills.. I'm a decade into my career, starting at 16 doing art full time and I'm in my mid 20's now. if you're worried about my use/abuse of AI art in my professional…

…"I wanna read a She-Ra fanfic about XYZ, Gemini write one." How about you write it yourself and experience the frustrating, vinegar-strokes joy of the creative act? Don't throw away an important part of being human for expedience's sake! I have much less concern about art for non-artistic, non-artisanal purposes…

AI just helped a self-represented academic beat professional lawyers. Remind me again why using AI supposedly erases human authorship? — # AI just helped a self-represented academic beat professional lawyers This is a pretty spectacular real-world example of why the argument "AI did it, therefore the human…

….” “You didn’t really make that.” “This is slop.” I’ve heard it all. Here’s the advice I wish someone had given me at the start: who cares? If you’re making AI music, remember why you started. You’re doing this to express yourself creatively. That’s what matters. If success comes, that’s a bonus. But if you go into it…

…elf performing the motion and convert it into an animation using AI. Ever wondered when we'll see an open-source alternative to MetaHuman? It will never happen because creating a truly photorealistic 3D human character involves a 3D photo scan of a real person and an enormous amount of effort in hand-crafting matching…

…t, of all sorts, has, does, and always will cater to those with less. Yes, you can go to schools that teach art and study in professional settings with overpriced books, but unlike something like advanced mathematics or a doctorate in cardiology, it isn't required to master it. Making the claim that being against AI…

…eir own communities, and these communities are very rapidly growing. "But AI products are AWFUL SLOP, nobody likes them!" - An AI hater might object. Which leads me to: "It's bad quality. It's SLOP" First, AI itself is still a baby, and it's only going to improve and with it the quality of content. But more…

…to our creativity skills when we stop doing the hard part ourselves? The annoying part of creating something has always been... well, creating it. Having crappy ideas. Starting over. Sitting there for an hour because nothing works. Accidentally finding something interesting while trying to fix something that sucked.…

…ely isn’t. Copyright issues are real. Displacement concerns are real. Low-effort AI slop flooding creative spaces is genuinely annoying. These conversations are worth having. But there’s a growing crowd that won’t engage with any of that nuance. They’ve just decided AI = bad, full stop, and wearing that opinion is a…

…ecent times, I've also started to learn Software reverse engineering. due to my ADHD, i hate theory. i always would rather go in and learn as i go. and with the help of Gemini leading me, I've started to learn how to use ghidra and how to successfully modify ARM assembly, to do what i want in compiled software. AI…

I JUST WANT TO CREATE [rant] — "It makes art more accessible" It's not the tool it's the person that uses it. Is music instruments, sculpture materials and paint a bit to expensive sometimes? Yeahh, and believe me I also want them to be cheaper. BUT THERE IS DIGITAL ART. Music? FL STUDIO Sculptures? BLENDER…

…e projects where Claude, ChatGPT, or other AIs appear as co-authors. It’s not because I hate AI. It’s because when I join a project, I want to be able to understand the code, its architecture, and the decisions that were made. If a significant part of the project was generated through huge conversations with an AI and…

…direction that mattered. That might be exactly what a writer wants. A collaborator with too much independent agency would quickly become infuriating, while a tool that reliably develops your ideas can be enormously useful. It might also explain why asking a model to “make this more interesting” often produces more…

…exaggeration. Our occupation as artist had always been discriminated. We always was placed in the shadow due to the lack of credit. People deem our occupation is for children and is just a "hobby." This is why its hard for people to start being an artist. BECAUSE THEY FEAR THAT THEYLL SUCK. WITHOUT REALIZING THAT NO…

The Art of theft. — (Disclaimer : I'm a CG/VFX veteran with pro-ai stance within reason ) I remember way before AI, there used to be many youtube Drama channels that commentated on art theft. There were Few artists on instagram who were called out for blatantly ripping off another artist's pose and some even got…

…antis favorite myths no, using ai is not because we are jealous. (lots of human made art on anti ai spaces is lacking, so there isn’t much to be jealous of anyhow…) no, using AI is not laziness. people are allowed to use tools that exist. people can also draw AND use ai. is using a phone or a computer lazy becuase you…

…acy of data, maintaining details over long context becomes difficult. We might assume large context equals better memory of details, but it doesn't work that way. In short, for conceptual work like this post, structural verification, like how a story should structurally be, ai works quite well, while for factual work…

…generate an artwork. I want to acknowledge Ai tools for digital art. I take a different stance, since I dont really know what to say about it, I still discourage it because I feel like a lot if not all of what the tools do can be done by hand, but it feels less agressive; just excessive. Most of it actually feels…

…come off. I wrote it while in a rage. I've had some time to reflect. I wish people would listen to me about environmental harm without me having to be angry. Because no one listens if you aren't angry. I've spent the last year trying to talk to people about the environmental harm caused by the data centers and the…

…the underlying training dataset etc. That can be in some cases true. But people saying it is incapable of "original thought" -- and yes, I agree that it can't really think, but you know what I mean -- seem to be missing the mark. Most average people also just learn patterns they see and then apply them throughout to…

…y their productivity and the robustness of their code by many times. I'd go so far to say that there will be very few coding jobs in the future that are done entirely by hand without the assist of AI. I thought this article ( https://thenewstack.io/spline-v2-mcp-agents/ ) was an interesting angle on how AI could…

…ate than painting them. digital art made a lot of things easier too. layers, undo, copy paste, filters, etc. making something easier doesnt automatically make it not art. and i dont think every ai generated image is automatically amazing or meaningful. some of it is obviously just someone typing a random prompt and…
