Silent extinction rule - Lemmy.World

If a computer can create art better than you, maybe you’re a bad artist?

I don’t get this discussion at all. The internal combustion engine did away with horses. Do we mourn horses? Excavators replaced people with shovels, electric computers replaced their human predecessors, even alarm clocks replaced humans.

We don’t have to feed horses to cars so we can make cars. We need artists to create original works to feed AI.
And we based digital brush patterns ans effects in computer art programs on real ones made by skilled artisans. Are you going to complain that digital artists are bad because they’re putting brush makers out of business?
