By skyforbes I remember in the 00s when I was a kid, I never even imagined a future like this. In the early 2010s, I would have not even have imagined AI being this advanced. AI in the early 2010s was cheap and gimmicky. It was a joke. Then AI got better and it has been rapidly advancing since. I am a little embarrassed to say I cannot even tell all the time anymore whether an AI video is real life or AI. This is sort of scary. Someone could make an AI video and fabricate a whole fake reality and lie to the world about it. The news could use it to lie to people and spread a narrative it wants people to believe. Art is starting to become meaningless now. Why support a hardworking artist who practiced all of their life to become so talented when an AI can spit out an even better version of their artwork in a few minutes? We may get to the point where there is no way to tell whether someone actually put in years of hard work to make good digital art or whether they just used an llm. It's kind of sad in a way. I am a 3D artist myself so I am a little disappointed. But I am also a little amazed at the same time at what AI can do.
