Raw LLM Responses

I used some AI generators recently and I think it's more promising as an art reference than anything else. Although I'm not an artist to the extent that I would be if I practiced, I did take the time to consider the tool as art references more than anything else and was interested in what references would be produced with my key words. The images being produced aren't that great, but if I need something to look at to make sure my art looks better than without a reference, I think there's a lot of promise here as I've already stated. However, I do believe as a creator that fears are justified. We don't know what impact this will have on art going forward and I cannot make an accurate estimate of this. It could steal jobs, ruin lives, etc, but this being said, you can always prove that your art style is your art style. All you need is the confidence to pull it off and the right tools. This doesn't mean your life can't be ruined by AI making art in the future, but again, we don't know the impact right now. Everyone's fears and concerns are justified. I'm not going to say anyone's feelings on this topic aren't valid. I'm unable to speak for the art community as a whole. I'm just someone that has created art in the past and could in the future. But, this conversation is about artists. I can only imagine what I'll feel when a similar conversation happens in regards to writers.
