Your imagination is limited if you control curiosity.

Just tuning in, who is this? I'm very curious about this discussion!

Yeah.
You're a hack if you use AI for creative endeavors.
Ha!
♥
:
totally agree! HACKS!
:
Don't hold back Hannah! lol
:
I love this. It's a great description to call it "what the client would design". Artist's job is to get the client what they want but didn't realize they wanted.

Hear, hear.
For those unfamiliar, here's one take from the comedy world: en.wikipedia.org...
Hack is a term used primarily in stand-up comedy, but also sketch comedy, improv comedy, and comedy writing to refer to a joke or premise for a joke that is considered obvious, has been frequently used by comedians in the past and/or is blatantly copied from its original author.

I think the decline of Comic Sans usage has lead to an increase in AI use.
We must bring back Comic Sans.
:
Comics sans isn't a bad font if it's used thoughtfully! It's very well designed for people who have dyslexia.
:
"If Comic Sans suddenly became mandatory for one year, would you become a sculptor instead?"
♥
:
Unfortunately, too many companies are going with the cheapest route. They don't care about originality or skill. In the late 80's, when digital cameras arrived, professional photographers I knew in NYC were losing a lot of work and started to give up because youngsters with a camera (but no experience) were under-bidding the pro's by 50% or more.
:
"Do you think AI will eventually become just another tool for artists—like Photoshop did—or do you think it's fundamentally different?"

This is your questions, Lorraine?

:
Content aware is AI.
♥
:
People learning there are AIs in their software.

It's just like PFAS.
♥
:
The line between "machine learning" — which we have had for a decade with things like Content Aware Fill" — and what we now call Generative AI is a smooth 32 bits per channel gradient.
:
I've accepted the fact that AI is pretty much everywhere. No?

Lorraine @6:35
Oh yes. Everywhere. Every situation is unique. But some are very blatantly generative.
♥
:
Oh. I really like that photo animation being a memory that never existed. That's wild.
♥
:
All the new object selection magic, that allows you to manually manipulate your images and video to suit your own imagination with your own mouse clicking, it's still all machine intelligence.
♥
:
But it's still much more in-line with what digital manipulation has allowed us to do over the past 3 decades, compared to what we could do strictly with chemical or physical processes, than is anything generating pixels of recognizable things out of thin air.
♥
:
Oh no! That gen-"AI" vandalism the guest's parents are subjecting family photos to is stomach-turningly horrifying.
I hope the originals are still well preserved somewhere in the family.
♥
:
I think Compleat Sculptor in Manhattan teaches sculpting in marble.
♥
:
I think the marble sculptors may have been on a Techtonic episode.
♥
:
Hammer & chisel is cheating. Sculpt that marble with your god given hands!

Ha! Improvisation is great, Hannah.
I would encourage you to play around with long form / scenic / character driven improv.

I'm a photographer, and of course I've seen lots of "AI" tools show up in the software (Lightroom) I do my edits in, but just aside from my stubborn principled refusal to let the detail-hallucinating machines inject crap I wouldn't have been able to create in a darkroom into my photos, I just don't like the way those tools make things look. I mean... even the most harmless-sounding tool (some "AI-powered" noise reduction applied to noisy high-ISO digital images) at anywhere near the default strength tends to either make people's skin look like a freaky plastic mask, or (IMO creepier in its way) inject details which might have been part of *somebody's* face, but don't actually have anything to do with the actual face of the actual individual human person I photographed.
Eww.

Evening Bucci. How long have you been lurking?

:
Really fun show, thanks!
:
Bye Jackie. thanks for a great show.

:
Also a thought on corporate culture:
It creeps me the fuck out when creative people are referred to using the collective noun "creatives", because it makes then seem all the more fungible as some thing there's an amorphous anonymous supply of...
and it also separates the people doing overtly creative work from the "normal" corporate citizens presumably doing "normal" un-creative (now so labeled by inference) work.

Thanks again Jackie, Hannah, callers, boarders, liners, kerners, illustrators, and most of all, artists.
Cheers!
