Let’s talk about how to stay motivated as an artist with some art motivation tips.
If what’s going on right now with generative AI art has demotivated you and discouraged you from creating art, you need to here this. I see so many young artists that decided to stop creating because AI art has gotten so good or they are afraid their work will be stolen.
- Remind yourself why you started creating in the first place. It’s the actual creating that makes you feel good. And the accomplishment and confidence you feel after putting in all that time and effort. No one can take that away from you.
- AI art is very repetitive, lacks emotion, and doesn’t have a good foundation. It’s all surface level, like a polished turd. AI art has a very limited scope of data that is put into it’s model and it can’t draw inspiration from as many sources as we can. It will eventually run out of training data, will struggle to improve beyond where it is, and it will never have the understanding of drawing and art fundamentals that real human artists have of art.
- I like to think of the existence of AI as like the existence of many other artists out there. just because there are other artists out there that are better than me, doesn’t mean i will stop creating. I still have a unique art style and expression of my art and utility to my art that no one else has.
- everyone is at a different point in their creative journey. all the good artists once sucked. they invested the time to get better.
- You have to ask yourself, where do you want to be with your art in 1, 5, 10 years? Don’t stop now just because there’s a shitstorm going on. If you wait until conditions are perfect, you’ll never progress.
- Like NFTs, AI art is likely to be yet another fad. Development of this AI technology has been very expensive and eventually the bubble will burst. The industry will find only limited usefulness from it and the investment bubble will burst.
- I’m optimistic that the problems we see with our art being stolen is a temporary one and that regulation will eventually catch up with us and that there will be a day of reckoning for the AI companies.
