How AI is removing the effort from art.By Jackson CuevasMany artists need to work really hard to make their art, many spending weeks or sometimes months just for a single picture. So if I were to tell you that you could make similar art in less than a minute with no effort involved, would that seem fair to you? Many artists are fed up with AI art and how it removes the efforts of making art and removes it. Also, most AI art programs steal art from artists who worked hard to make their art and puts it in a database used for training the AI, usually without permission too. A lot of these issues are making people wonder if AI art will take over the art industry as a whole. I personally believe that stealing art is wrong, no matter how you use it.
How this takes the effort from art How would you feel if you spent a week working on an art piece that you were really proud of just to find out that some AI art made an almost identical image in less than a minute? This brings me into the first major problem with AI, a lot of AI art programs can make detailed art with just the click of a button, taking almost all of the meaning away from the art piece. This is unfair towards the artists who have dedicated their career towards art and now most people don't even have a use for these artists anymore now that AI can do the same thing. Now I can see why others might find it convenient or useful to have these AI art programs make art for you, but why can't you just pay an artist to do so for you or even make it yourself? AI is stealing art? Another point is that many AI companies such as OpenAI and Midjourney have gotten into legal troubles for stealing art from artists to train their AI software. This is extremely unfair because they do not even bother asking for permission from the artists beforehand. These art pieces which artist worked hard on are then used to teach the AI how to create similar art. I understand that it is required to have something train the AI to make art, but why not hire your own artists to make art specifically for training? These companies are making a large amount of profit from these stolen art pieces. Artists are afraid for their career If that doesn't concern you, what about the jobs of many different artists? There has been an increasing amount of video games and companies that have began to use AI art for their graphics. This concerns me and many other people because if the amount of companies using AI art continues to grow then many artists and graphic designers are going to lose their jobs. I do believe that currently it is unlikely an artist loses their job to an AI art generator but AI is constantly learning and improving, making the probability of this increasing. Now many young adults are starting to worry if they are going to be able to pursue a career in art or if they should quit due to AI. Conclusion In conclusion, AI is constantly stealing art and making life harder for artists trying to pursue a career in art. Although it is up to you to choose to use AI art or not, you should at least consider the feelings of artists who work hard to create their art. AI art steals art from artists, takes away the effort from creating art, and is also concerning many young artists with the idea that AI might make artists irrelevant. I seriously believe that what a lot of AI art platforms are doing is just wrong.

In this project I was told to make 3 variations of a character from a video game and color them differently. I chose Johnny Cage from the video game Mortal Kombat 1. For the first variation I made, I used a pink/blue/red color pallet for the shirt, pants, glasses, hair, and belt, and a skin pallet for his skin. For the second one I used a green color pallet for the shirt, pants, glasses, hair, and belt, and the same skin pallet for his skin. For the final one I used a gold color pallet for his shirt, pants, glasses, hair, and belt, and the skin pallet for his skin. Overall I am happy with how this turned out and I feel like these colors change the vibe of the character.
I enjoyed doing this project because it was different from the other projects we do. In this project we had to play games and learn more about color. The first game taught me a lot about colors and how they mix with each other to create other colors. The second one had me match two colors by changing the hue and saturation. The third game was a test where I tested my ability to tell similar colors apart where I got a perfect score. The final game I played was a mobile game where you played sudoku with colors and shades, I did a couple of these before screenshotting and turning it in.
In this project we took a first look into photoshop. We were instructed to make a sandwich in photoshop using premade assets and the tools in photoshop. I used the magic wand to select the background of the images given to me and used quick mask to remove them from view. I then cloned all of the objects as instructed and created the finished project. I found this project interesting and am looking forward to doing more like it.
