Reminds me of when I was learning Spanish and google translate was just getting good. It took a lot of discipline not to just google translate everything.

I think art schools should also be thinking about how to prepare students for the real working environment. I'm not sure myself what that environment will look like in 5 years for aspiring artists, the prospect of companies downsizing art teams and using ai instead makes me sad. This isn't the kind of future I want for my daughter, one in which we effectively encourage people not to bother trying to be creative anymore.

One of the only student questions I got when reading through my syllabus on the first day of this semester was, "Do you consider AI plagiarism?" I didn't know how to respond because I couldn't wrap my head around why anyone taking the time and spending the money to go to art/design school would want to use AI. I assumed (possibly naively) anyone pursuing a creative path would want to actually create. I hope and believe that the excitement and novelty of all this will wear off quickly for the individuals once they realize that the rewards of making creative work or engaging with it were never about the outward results. Along with a return to real, I hope all of this will drive people toward the kind of work or endeavors that deliver inward results, increase thinking, stimulate growth, etc. If that happens, then there may be some hope that the people, organizations, and corporations that dive head first into all the hype as a shortcut or a means to make a quick buck will either fail or be forced to adjust and do better.

It's really coming down to what my math teacher used to say, "Show your work".
@torrentthom4734
I liked your description of the process of sitting down and thinking about the process of making art, then fully partaking in making it. This is something only a teacher or a pro could tell you. The process is the most important part, and it starts before putting brush to canvas/pencil to paper and continues on as the artist works on a piece.

AI art feels like the invention of dynamite. I don’t think we know how powerful it is at the moment and how much it will change the landscape. It’s possible to pull interesting ideas out of it and I am sure it could be a fascinating tool to integrate with craft. What is disheartening to see is how a lot of folks are willing to plug and chug with the program.
@RawHeadRay
For submitting art to a school just have the students come in and do one life drawing session so the school can take the real art samples and compare the techniques with the submitted portfolio
@davidcomito505
There are likely talented young artist that have grown up using only a tablet or computer and may be completely blindsided by a rising demand for physical media. I hope teachers and mentors can help yong artist navigate this monumental change in the art world.

In the university where I'm currently teaching in (Aalto ARTS, Finland), we have ba applicants send in a digital work on the basis of which around 90 are invited to campus for a 3-day entrance exam, where they work under supervised conditions and turn in original work. Around 30 are then accepted into the programme based on the exam + an interview. It's not a perfect system — it tends to favour people with strong painting skills over analytic/typographic skills — but at least we get to see work we know for certain was produced by the applicants.
@MrPakstons
Interesting take Elliott. The Art Academy of Latvia has been known to have in person exams for their courses. For BA Graphic design course for example there are three tasks: Classical drawing, 2D composition task (poster) and a 3D composition task (sculpture). Then there’s also a portfolio review and an interview. Quite a tricky one.

We had no Art program at my high school. Just an Art class. Great teacher. He did the best he could with the limited supplies we had. Literally an art closet with old art supplies. We had to dig to find a tube of paint that wasn't dried out. A lot of Rubber Cement. Probably killed a few brain cells there.
@bawmchickawahwah
I love your videos. "The real" hit home with me, thanks for your insights. You really strike a great balance of being direct and quite serious alongside being hopeful and funny- a deadly combination!
@TopDrawer_Art
In the past, I’ve been criticized by other collegues for sticking to traditonal art instead of doing digital Illustration (think basically your generic “videogame character concepts” you see on DeviantArt & Artstation). This is probably the only instance in my life where I’m glad I was stubborn enough to never shift fully into digital means. Though I feel bad because I know so many people that are primarly way too dependent on digital tools. Can't either even draw in paper or haven't done so in years. Is there any way those people can still “make it”?
@Mysterymeateater
I’m joining an art program next year (because AI be damned I wanna do it, even if it’s not for a career) and their policy on AI is that, if it’s caught being used, it results in an instant expulsion, which is pretty neat since it’s easy to tell if it’s ai
@robrobbins
We asked for Artificial Intelligence but all we got was Artificial Creativity.
@rabbitmoontarot1821
I'm a high school art teacher listening to this a year after it was posted. Yesterday my district had staff sit through an entire day of "training" to use AI in the classroom. As you can imagine, my mind flooded with all that will be lost as this change takes over our schools. In searching for ways to maintain the integrity of my program and to continue to deliver opportunities of substance to my students, I began searching for other voices, particularly regarding art, on this topic and I found your video. I very much appreciate your thoughts. You gave me a lot to consider. Thank you!
@909sickle
Everyone thinks ai is a silly toy or they’re concerned about the impact of the current versions. But almost no one realizes how fast this is going to advance. It’s like worrying about the impact of a single asteroid when there 1,000,000 asteroids behind it
@na_haynes
I hope all of this AI stuff makes everyone reflect and discover what is really important to them, something beyond even the deep patterns of productivity that we lived for until now.
