This mnth, the Internet was flded with wnderful digital art prtraits, thanks t the wrk f the latest artificial intelligence-assisted applicatin t g viral: Lensa. Users upladed their phtgraphs t the App and then—fr a small fee—it used AI t transfrm their prfile pictures int, say, a magical warrir princess versin f themselves, in n time at all.
This year has seen a breakthrugh fr AI-driven image generatrs, which are nw better
than ever in quality, speed and affrdability. If that sunds great t yu, yu might nt be ne f the millins f humans whse livelihds depend n being able t exchange thse skills fr mney.
Sme artists predicted that a cmputer wuld recreate the aura f a masterpiece by
Lenard da Vinci in the near future. As lng as there are enugh data fr the AI t train itself, it can cpy numerus masterpieces just in several minutes. It seems unavidable that a large number f artists wuld lse their jbs.
“I see it less as a threat and mre f an pprtunity,” the UK-based illustratr Michelle
Thmpsn said, adding, “Like everything else, there will always be artists wh can use the tls better.”
