Ok but what is an actually good solution to the whole AI art debacle? (lemmy.world)

I heard about C2PA and I don't believe for a second that it's not going to be used for surveillance and all that other fun stuff. What's worse is that they're apparently trying to make it legally required. It also really annoys me when I see headlines along the lines of "Is AI the end of creativity?!1!" or "AI will help artists, not hurt them!1!!" or something to that effect. So, it got me thinking and I tried to come up with some answers that actually benefit artists and their audience rather that just you know who.

Unfortunately my train of thought keeps barreling out of control to things like, "AI should do the boring stuff, not the fun stuff" and "if people didn't risk starvation in the first place..." So I thought I'd find out what other people think (search engines have become borderline useless haven't they).

So what do you think would be the best way to satisfy everyone?

I went to art school, and I distinctly remember people talking about art being one of the few things that was safe from AI. "They'll have computers driving cars and doing office management but they can't do anything creative so it's going to be a good time to be an artist" and so on.

I guess you could make the argument that they're not really being 'creative' right now, but if the output is good enough for large amounts of the general public then it's still just as damaging for artists I think.

We have an art director at the corp I work for who is basically automated out of a job now. She is near retired and on good terms with the CEO so they will probably let her wrap up and not replace her.

Of course she still hasn't figured out how to use the new label maker, update the website, or use AI art generation so that has fallen to the rest of us.

Counter argument to pose, would be that a skilled artist with AI is now a faster producing artist than without - presumably (at least at the current tech), this combo pair up is best of both worlds. Artist can create art but still retains creative freedom and the talent of guiding AI prompts in specific directions a project may call for that a non-artist with an AI would struggle with.
