Nah it'll be like what we think of this kind of art.
It’s not art.
"Keyframe animation isn't art"
"EDM isn't music. Pressing a button isn't music"
/s
My take is that EDM is created by humans and RUN on computers. And no I wouldn’t say that pressing a button is a musical talent at all. Though I don’t think anyone is arguing this point.
But pressing a button to play a music track of ART that was created by a human being- isn’t AI.
So there’s the separation. AI “art” isn’t art if a human being isn’t involved in its creation. It’s thoughtless and emotionless imagery.
Humans create art. Machines don’t.
"Hip Hop isn't music. Sampling old tracks isn't music"
"Rock'n'Roll ~~isn't music~~ is the devil's music."
But then again, AI art takes all the humanity out of it.
Depends on how you look at it. These models weren't trained in a vacuum. They were trained on data generated by humans. They are the amalgamation of all human art throughout human history. They are a reflection of us, the way a child is a reflection of their parents.
That being said, I am very excited for art generated by collaboration between humans and these models. I for one would love Castle Swimmer (a webcomic) to be turned into an animation. Currently, no one will fund any such project. With video gen models however, I'm very positive we would get to see this.
The original author's story is still there. Her characters are there, her dialogues are there. They're just brought to life visually. I still find a lot of humanity in this.
