Exciting opportunity to stop consuming broad social media and narrowing it down to only specific creators that you can trust not to use AI.
Computer is the medium, like painting on a canvas. You can paint, or you can pay someone to paint for you.
On a conceptual level, DTGI is a big change. From painting, or paying a creative to paint, to paying a faceless corp to generate a permutation of paintings by other people (who probably did not consent to that).
If creator is transparent about it, I would appreciate it, but as someone said once I’d prefer to just see the prompt since that is the extent of creative input.
I recently went to a small conference focused on AI art. What you said is simply not true for the best AI "infused" works. Many AI art creators use tools that allow you to combine different inputs, including their own "handmade" art, which are later processed by a pipeline that also include AI and require manual selection of intermediate results. There's a lot of manual work and artistic expression involved, and the average person wouldn't be able to replicate the results through a simple prompt.
While it is true that most people enter a low-effort prompt and call the output "art", better artists are going well beyond that. This is why I think it's just a more powerful version of "standard CGI" (image processing and 3D rendering).
It is a subset of CGI, a special case. I have never seen the term “standard CGI”, there is no standard.

Any sources?

For how long? Do you think what these people post will somehow not be used to train Veo3 and thus make it capable of reproducing it through a simple prompt?
