Artificial Intelligence and Artist's Losing Confidence.

Strange to say, but artificial intelligence has been knocking and kicking our human intelligence through artificial social platforms for the past few months drastically. Concerning netizens, it's like a tsunami came suddenly. Its waves came, changed, and affected us in both ways. But how is no one still getting till now?

If you understand its utility and your natural intelligence, both could survive together. Otherwise, this is like that phobia when we used to hear robots going to replace all housemaids. But on the other hand, we use computers, which make our work effortless. The intention behind artificial intelligence was that only. But probably, if we are addicted to artificial intelligence by avoiding human intelligence and their dedication, undoubtedly, it would result in worse outcomes.

My experience:

AI image AI image At first, I thought it would be an Adobe Illustrator image, but that was AI, which means Artificial Intelligence. Being an artist and a writer, when I come across artificial intelligence-created paintings on social media platforms, they are mind-blowing. When I first saw it. Day after day, when I visualize, they are amazingly detailed, but I could not connect with them in contrast to the genuine artist's masterpiece. They repeatedly look the same, having little defects many times 5 or 6 fingers in human figures. Many videos are equivalent to the child-to-old-age transformation, which is quick, but as a viewer, it is a little boring now. When I used a free AI tool for writing, it was so compact and far different from my thought process. It's an ultra-fine arrangement of the knowledge a computer on the internet has more than I assumed. On the site, I also experimented with the AI tool, which was free for a few trials. You can create a beautiful image by just texting what you want to see, thinking of what you want to draw, then typing it and getting AI results. I thought, texted, and the result was an amazingly cartoon-type finished image, but that look was not in my thoughts. AI is good, maybe more features somewhere else with paid one app or site, but what I perceived without artistic sense and an artistic mind, this AI art is also not satisfactory. AI has a very vast to discuss with you. I am talking about AI art and how it's affecting artists and society.

AI art has now reached like a web into our minds, and the recent example everyone aware of that when the very next moment after Ram Mandir Praan Pratishtha AI video of Lord Ram Diety going viral as the statue of Ram Lalla moving his eyes and smiling and talking to worshipers. So, quickly, it got aired. Through animation, it would take time for sure, but through the AI feature, it happened, and if my knowledge is correct, the AI artist might have taken Ram Lalla's photo and added text, and he got the AI video ready in no time. Animation is not easy for animators who do their jobs with dedication. AI tools might be used more efficiently by the nonartistic at that moment, which hurts effort versus effortlessly.

History of AI Art:

AI art is not so new or just taken to fly high. Its origin is so old you will be surprised up to the present time how it did not get so famous among us. Only a few months ago, it appeared like a sudden change.

AI artists worked on it through the mid to late 20th century. AI is not a new invention technically because it takes inspiration from the traces of automata, innovation by a hero of Alexandria and Daedalus from ancient Greek civilization. Which write text, generate sounds, and play music. Maillardet's automaton flourished in the early 1800s, created by a Swiss technician.

The academic discipline of artificial intelligence was in a research workshop in 1956 at Dartmouth College. Creating artificial human-like intelligence raised several philosophical and ethical arguments. It has exploring since ancient times in myths, fiction, and philosophy. Sometimes, AI art refers to algorithm art, digital art, computer art, or new media.

The first AI art system (AARON) Harold Cohen developed in the late 1960s at the University of California. That program was for drawing, and later on, Cohen painted those drawn by machine artworks. In 1972, AARON exhibited in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. In 1991-92, Karl Sims achieved Golden Nica for creating 3D AI animated videos using artificial evolution. In 2001, Scott Draves won Fundacion Telefonica Life prize 4.0 for creating electric sheep used to design AI infinite animation. In 2009, Eric Millikin won the Pulitzer Prize for developing AI art to capture corruption in the government in Detroit(America), resulting in the Mayor going to jail. In 2014, Lan Goodfellow developed a GAN-generative adversarial network that worked on aesthetics by analyzing data. In 2015, Google introduced Deep Dream, which uses a convolutional neural network and works to enhance images like dream psychedelic experience.

In 2018, during an auction, the AI artwork "Edmond de Belamy" sold for $423,500, created by the Obvious Paris-based collective. IN 2019, Stephanie Dinkins won creative capital to develop AI based on people's interests and culture. In 2019, Sougwen Chung won the Lumen Prize for developing a robotic arm that can work in the style of Chung. In 2020, the text-to-image model works on prompts. In 2021, they applied transformer models AI-enhanced in GPT-2, GPT-3, DALL-E, and OPEN AI. In late 2021, EleutherAI's VQGAN+CLIP was developing. In 2022, Midjourney was developing, now leading the growth of AI to generate visual art.

There are many other AI programs that we are using in our mobile apps to work on textual inversions.

What is Artificial Intelligence?

Artificial Intelligence is the arousal of human intelligence processed by machines like computer systems. AI includes language or speech recognition programs. AI is simply a component of technology, just like machine learning. It requires hardware and software for writing and training algorithms. It works based on various training data, analyzing data via correlation and patterns, which can predict future states. Recognition tools identify and describe objects. Nowadays, AI reached to techniques have become so modified that they can create realistic text, images, music, and other media. AI usually focuses on learning, reasoning, self-correction, and creativity. Its potential is reflected through customer services, fraud detection, and quality checks. AI stores massive data, so the chances of errors are fewer compared to humans. Alphabet, Apple, Microsoft, and Meta, where AI technologies are beneficial to improve operations, and our social media is a significant example of it as it also works on algorithms.

What is Artificial Intelligence Art?

AI art is simply artwork formed by generative AI. In that technology, AI finds datasets and creates new content. The artist has to type all details as a prompt, and after clicking the generate button, AI creates a new image. It works like software Adobe Firefly and an Idea. So basically, AI can create images based on what information it can choose from its data regarding your typed information, but different from that data, it can't help you. Artists use generative AI tools to make artworks like Illustrations, Logos, and models artworks that look like analog paintings or photographs. AI tools can also help with writing poems and stories. The speed and flexibility of AI generation help to finish several projects more quickly. The technology that powers this ability is called a neural network. So technically, it works like any search engine as the internet has vast information, but to gather information from it on our screen, we have to type it and enter. Artist Vera Molnár began experimenting early to produce randomly generated artwork in 1968. You can now find AI-generated art in the Museum of Modern Art in New York. In 2023, the museum displayed the artwork of Refik Anadol on an enormous screen generated via artificial intelligence. Artificial intelligence has commenced in art course curricula at institutions like Columbia University and the Rhode Island School of Design.

Advantages of AI Art:

AI can do repetitive tasks, improve efficiency, quick decision making, 24/7 availability, and work with accuracy and fewer errors. Virtual assistants like Siri and Alexa, virtual reality, social media algorithms, and systems that provide you with viewing history and upcoming timetable of movies and TV series are examples of daily routine. Ultimately, it focuses on reducing costs with efficient work. Tasks such as image editing, resizing, and background removal are rapid. AI helps to maintain brand value while marketing security, social media posts, or website banners. Instead of hiring graphic designers, AI tools are a good option for new start-ups and small businesses. It can explore fresh perspectives in designs and help artists in the stage of creative block when individuals face it.

The disadvantage of AI Art:

AI automation results in less job availability. It leads to a workforce. Raises ethical issues considering data privacy, algorithm bias, and potential misuse of technology, AI tool lack of creativity, and emotions to produce original ideas. AI systems can be expensive to handle with knowledgeable personalities. It can't be fully reliable. Too much dependency on it can reduce your critical thinking power. It cannot fully replicate human intelligence and creativity. AI lacks consciousness and emotions. It lacks human touch. It has fixed and limited templates and predefined algorithms. Without learning these tools, companies should not invest in them as it's risky what result you will get without knowing their usage. It would diminish artists' creative assets if they become dependent on it.

Conclusion:

Humans and machines or reality and technology are always like two sides of one coin. Both are interconnected and interdependent. It is like we humans and God's supernatural power. We know and trust God-created humans. But still, we can't rely on God's statue and forget to do our karma's for living and running our lives. Likewise, Humans develop Artificial Intelligence, so we can't depend on machine intelligence and lack confidence in our existence. Technologies enter and become part of our lives but can't be among us.

Some AI works on movies able to predict the audience reactions and the success of a project from the script stage only, said Monica Landers, CEO of StoryFit. AI has been in film and TV for a long time. Adobe Premiere Pro uses AI to automate specific editing processes, create transcripts and captions, and color-correct. Sony uses AI to autofocus cameras. Services like ScriptBook and VaultAI use AI to analyze scripts and try to predict their success. India's AI market is supposed to reach $17 billion by 2027. The demand for AI talent in India awaits to grow at a CAGR-compound annual growth rate of 15%. India has the 2nd highest installed AI talent base, with 420,000 employees, according to a recent report by BCG and IT industry apex body Nasscom. The ability of AI-based art software to mimic or forge artistic style also raises concerns of malice or greed. Chinese gaming industry recruiter has noticed a 70% drop in illustrator jobs, in part due to the widespread use of image generators.

August 2022, digital artist R. J. Palmer said he could easily envision a scenario where access AI, a single artist, or art directors could replace 5-10 entry-level artists. He said self-published authors feel great it will be that they do not have to hire an artist after the AI tool.

I still remember my teenage days when we were anxious about robots and life with us. The small Wonder series is one of the best I can find connections to robots in our lives, but in reality, China or Japan has Robotic facilities to some extent now. So why fear AI over our intelligence?

Spiritual awakeners say we use 4% of our brain, and few sites mention 10% of the brain. Think to work and get to boost up your intelligence also. 90 to 96% of intelligence we lack to explore our inner self. The most intelligent personality everyone knows is Albert Einstein. Do you know? His brain lobes were 15% larger than normal brains. That is supernatural intelligence. AI tools could not solve that mystery.
