How Tech Is Betting Big On AI Generated Art
Silicon Valley is abuzz over a new kind of artificial intelligence — generative AI.
It’s a somewhat new field that exploded in popularity and attention in recent weeks, thanks to a steady stream of novel — and sometimes very weird — pieces of digital art hitting social media. The art was made by generative AI software, using simple text prompts from humans.
These kinds of tools not only produce unique pieces of art, they can also generate audio, text and video based on user prompts. While their results are less than perfect, the AI tools can turn what were once hours-long projects into minutes-long tasks.
Proponents of generative AI software say the tools could one day replace the armies of visual effects artists who work on major blockbuster films. In a shorter time frame, they could help white-collar workers whip up slideshow presentations, design corporate logos and even craft written content such as blog posts or social media posts.
Watch the video above to find out how generative AI works and why Silicon Valley tech investors think it could be the next big thing.

A leak by Indian supplier Tata Electronics, purportedly of the yet-to-be-released iPhone 18 Pro models, has become marketing gold for the Chinese government. The Communist Party paper, The Global Times, is using the leak – caused by a cyberattack – as a cautionary tale for Apple and other American companies that are in the process of diversifying their supply chains away from China. CNBC’s Eunice Yoon reports.
00:58 Correction: The location tag should be Beijing, China.

China’s Swagger After India’s iPhone 18 Leak
source
Unstoppable demand for AI is leading to a capacity crunch on factory lines at the world’s leading chip manufacturer, Taiwan Semiconductor. And it could put a chokehold on AI’s ability to scale. Analysts tell CNBC that Nvidia, Apple, Broadcom, AMD and others are locked in an “extremely fierce” competition to get their GPUs, CPUs and custom AI chips made at TSMC. Capacity can’t come online fast enough, despite TSMC’s rush to build new fabs in Taiwan, Japan and Arizona, where has expanded investment to $265 billion. The strain has made one man at TSMC “the most popular person on the planet,” as chip start-ups and big name CEOs visit Taiwan to ask him for wafer allocation. It’s also created a rich opportunity for Intel, as customers look to the long-struggling foundry arm of the U.S. chip manufacturer for a second source.

When a normal human would steal art, no matter which kind of media, we could end up in prison. But they are allowed, while we artist gave never our permission? Breaks my heart. They make Billions with OUR stolen art and we get not a penny. I hate them so much and i hope they get what they deserve for that. Seeing my favorite artists work stolen, duplicated, altered and used without consent makes me wanna puke. We learn our whole life, while they monetize it as their own art, by just entering some prompts. The companys shouldnt allowed to make money from this and let people pay for their illegal programs. Also the humans who feed our work into the programs, without consent should suffer consequences. Since this probably doesn't will happen, atleast the companys should face tough penalties. AI made an artists identity and hard work WORTHLESS.

It's getting harder and harder to adapt to this world. Massive changes and disruptions are happening at an increasing rate each year and they are becoming more and more unpredictable. Now millions of peoples livelihoods are being threatened and destroyed while all these tech companies care about is dominance, being the 1st to capture new technological territory and control it for themselves meanwhile the collateral damage to people in society is the lowest on the list of priorities. And the government isn't doing anything to protect people from all this insanity.

The thing is that whatever you make through AI is like you give shape to the clay to produse a result. The AI by itself cannot take initiative to create anything. Let’s say you have an idea or something to say and then it’s up to you how this idea is gonna be translated to data so that machine can produce your art creation you want. We are in the transition of creating the art to creating the data that constitute the art. You may not touch a brush to paint something you have on your mind but you will need to go into another process to produce the same result. You will need to express your vision in the language of your tool. This time your tool is not your brush and the paints but your AI assistant. You are still the creator because you are the one who choose the prompts, the data. The imagination and creativity happens inside your human mind. It’s something similar with the times when people where drawing everything they saw around them because there was not cameras. Once cameras arrived a painter would say that the camera does all the job and your photography is not part of art. But still the photographer has to decide the angle and the prospective, the contents and the combinations and colors etc. So AI is not something more than a camera. It’s a tool to produce something that is some kind of art. You can use the AI to crease something that expresses your vision, ideas and feelings. Your mind is stack in the idea that artists are only the ones who get dirty with paints. No. Art is anything that can be unique and is the result of data input from a human. I can create a poem using a prompt , but you could also create one. The end result is both art? As with before when any random guy made a poem that didn’t mean that he was making art. Poems can be bad and can lack feelings. You need to sculpt your poem through prompts and your vision and insights if you want to create something beautiful and something that someone can read and feel.
A mere prompt is not gonna create any good poem other than childish small poems. Any initial prompt is not gonna create stunning photos. Unless you “sculpt” your prompts and keep editing your pic you will be another one AI generated content creator. So yes you can be an AI artist generator if you can use this tool artistically. It’s up to you to learn to “paint” and “write” through the AI. In few years are art schools are not gonna teach you to make colors with pastels, but instead will teach you to make prompts, to be able to have a critical mind and to always judge your end result, if it can be more than just what it is now. That way your art will not be a simple Ai generated content but your endless vision and addition and attention to details. Artistic mind is inside you. It’s not about how good you can draw. Artists now live in the data world and they work with machine learning techniques. We came to the age that we have to become some kind of AI. When you see a picture you need to be able to generate the data that created. This is the new version of art studying.

FN Meka maybe a example of the rotting cavity of a deprived society of ethics. Big Data Sets (aka internet) is what deep learning utilizes. A lot of 0&1’s which is how microchips work to process a ton of information. Tech is essentially a synthetic brain 🧠 it’s a child now and creates beautiful art like a child. Wait til we see it grow up…

What a bunch of bs. The moment anyone can create art at a good level, the job market will suffer. Who will pay 4 artists to do projects when they could hire only one and make him use Ai.? And why pay him a good salary when the market does not need to many of them? This is not good. I guess engineering is next to use Ai. Dammm

If they intended a tool they would consult creative industry first but they never did ( so please (

Ai is fun right now. We view it as a “tool” to help us as artists, but believe me. It will replace us. There will come a point where people prefer this over our own art, because they will become so accustomed to its perfectly aesthetic nature. It’s a collaboration, but only now. A true artist does not need a robot to think for them. A true artist does not care about the convenience of time that Ai has to offer. Ai is fake art, with no thought or intent behind it. It’s all artificial. And Ai will not only destroy art. It will destroy writing, literature, film, fasion, you name it. It will destroy the human essence of creativity. And the saddest part is, none of us will even notice because we will have already lost touch with the beauty of raw creativity. I agree that Technology is supposed to help us. The great thing about it is that it’s supposed to aid us in the tasks we consider tedious. Not to say technology has never helped us artists in the past before. However, Ai is a different story, and we can see this just by looking at the name. Artificial Intelligence. If that title doesn’t spark any kind of worry, then I am greatly concerned for humanity. The positive aspect technology is that it gives us more time to think freely. Technology should not play such a vital part, in the creative thought process.

Just like that, the death of culture in favor of mass produced ai prompt based "art". The current economic system that remains incompatible with these advancements that solves a non-issue, and in the end will make wealth inequality and poverty a substantially worse issue than it already is because said economic system will not go away or change. We're witnessing the beginning of a collapse of culture and society due to desires for "innovation" where it isn't even needed. Technology developed for the sole purpose of moneymaking and tearing apart human creative endeavors. The world is going to be a lot less human due to this tech, and it won't stop with art. The ghouls who developed this in the end will be replaced too, and perhaps they should.The modern world no longer cares about creative endeavors, the beauty of creativity and human innovation. Only how cheap they can buy art they think looks good. Capitalism really does corrupt everything, and if you're already in poverty relying on a job that will inevitably be replaced by automation or AI, well your life means nothing in the face of profit. Have fun starving in the future! I sure love "technological progress" that in the end will just cripple people.
