I'm among those in the no big deal camp, largely because I don't actually think there is anything new here. But you inspired me to express my reasons for optimism, looking at fiction rather than painting: https://gmbaker.substack.com/p/ai-and-the-novelist?sd=nfs
I was eagerly waiting to hear your thoughts on this and I wasn't disappointed. You make some great points. What makes art special is the hidden meanings, human stories, and conscious decisions behind each piece. I don't think DALL·E will replace artists the way we initially expect when discovering these tools. It could even have the opposite effect: if AI-generated art becomes so accessible and ubiquitous, will it make human-made art more unique and valuable?
If some craven creature tried to pass off AI-generated art as their own, would you be able to tell better than a coin toss? Has anyone tried this experiment in real life?
