Modern artists use photoshop and benefit from a lot of computational tools already. There isn’t much difference between a computational or AI-assisted tool such as a “paint style digital brush” or “inpainting” and a tool such as a physical brush, paint knife, or toothbrush when used by the artist to achieve an effect. There is no universal rule that says only me mechanically made art is real art. Collage artists who literally copy and paste other people’s photos are also making art. In fact Photoshop already incorporates many AI assisted tools to add to the artist’s repertoire, and being able to generate unique images from a statistical merging of all the art styles online is just another tool in this fashion. Automation is the foundation of all our progress, as it is just the enhancement of another tool that replaces our hands and makes them bigger (metaphorically) so that we can build bigger and better things constantly.
Ok so now many more people can generate cool looking photos now in an automatic fashion. So what? It just means we’ve raised the bar… for what can be considered cool.
