My view of AI is this: I'm not opposed to it at all when it's in the hands of people like yourself who know how to create without it, but know when and where to bring it in to do the heavy lifting to free you up to attend to other things. The problem with AI is already becoming less and less, I think, a matter of the technology itself and more a case of it being accessible to people who don't understand aesthetics to begin with, but think, with a few elaborate prompts, that they can "become" artists - even though they don't know what they're looking at, yet because they wrote the prompt for it, call themselves artists. So I'm glad that you're using AI in the right way! This is how it should be used and how you can accomplish tasks with it.
You express your thoughts very well. Thanks for sharing Lee. I haven’t met anyone as yet who is using AI solely to create art, but maybe I have and not noticed. All I know is that I want to spend most of my time painting, I’m tired of staring at a screen 8 hours a day!
SLART, I like this--and I'm surprised! I do think I want to riff in a blog post on your idea that it would be great only to paint and upload a photo and have everything else happen marketing-wise without one. I disagree but I write to know what I think, so I don't know _why_ I disagree yet! I'm glad you're not engaging AI to promote Memento Vivere (mostly! right?). Your FB ad campaign is genius.
You are right there and you know how I enjoy writing to reflect. This was all borne from my yearning to paint and create a system that can help with the rest. It was quite nice reflecting via audio too.
Thank you, it seems to work well for local events. I’ll use it for memento vivere too.
I reflected on my objections deeply and they're so personal that I don't think I'll write a blog post. The strongest reason I could identify in myself is that I want control of how I'm marketed. A lot of control. Even though, right now, someone else who loved my work could market me better than I do! I'm terrible at it, though I love my work. My weak point is translating myself to others' needs. I don't trust AI in the least to suss out the most salient parts of what I do and translate it to others' needs--because I don't trust AI, period. There's a lot in what I do, and I only want to market certain aspects of it to certain people, not reach "everyone." I'm giving this much detail to see if any of what I'm saying applies to what you're doing. Regardless, it was important to me to circle back here since I said I would, in response to your words that had such an impact on me.
