Why Be An Artist When There's AI?
Draftsmen
Digital Is a Medium. It's a Tool.
"Scarcity creates value and a person who can do an oil painting or a watercolor may be the rare person," he says. "It's bigger than a tool. A tool that does a thing. A medium is a whole arena that you swim in, it affects everything you do."
A lot of things in the art world have changed since the last time Marshall and I talked, perhaps nothing more so than AI art. More and more artists are wondering what this emerging technology means for them. That’s why, in this episode, Marshall and I will catch up and discuss the current landscape of AI art, its ethics, and potential uses. Btw, the same day that we recorded this episode, Steven Zapata released a video about his thoughts that has been passed around widely. His video instantly made our episode outdated! As you listen to this, keep in mind, at that point we had not yet heard Steven's message - https://youtu.be/tjSxFAGP9Ss
