The person draws something on computer, uploads picture to the auction house to earn money. After upload computer shows list of people that have similar style of the drawing. All money from your drawing will go to those people.
That's youtube.
Someday I want to commission an artist for some game assets or an album cover, I just haven't made anything good enough yet
Holy fuck I just realized I can comission wallpapers 😃
Whether I can afford it is a different matter entirely
As somebody who commissions art this would fucking rule, actually.
Imagine if computers did this with math. Same thing.
The problem isn't that computers do work for us. The problem is that we're violently coerced into serving capital or starving to death at best.
The effort and ingenuity put in to make computers do maths correctly and helpfully is incredible and immense; the way people use computers in original ways to solve incredibly complicated problems is and should be applauded, but the computer also just does exactly what it was told. Given infinite patience and concentration the computer is unnecessary.\
AI art uses already existing art and can't create something original or new. Setting aside the ethics of generators taking credit for work done by others (which is still unethical even outside a capitalist society), it just doesn't create anything interesting or worthwhile because almost definitionally something better already exists.\
Also to counter another argument I have heard before that human artists are 'trained' on other people's art too and often don't credit them. Humans also have innumerable experiences in their life that contribute to everything they think and do which, as chaotic systems go, is pretty good at finding a new path not taken.
Math, fot the most part, isn't a reflection of human psyche valued for the human connection and a shared soul.
It can be in a lot of places, but usually isn't.
Ok but this is also an Ai that I would pay a 10 dollar subscription towards just to not have to hunt down what artists are taking commissions and managing prices and everything within the freelance space. I know it will never happen but God it would be nice not spending 10 hours finding an artist I like who isn't wait listing forever.
the basic problem is to have all artists who are available for commissioning announce it in one place and in a consistent way.
so it's impossible.
