P.S. I'm gonna be drawing the new comic live on twitch in about 10 hours from this post (gotta sleep first) if you're interested!

drawing live on twitch

As an artist, do you foresee people doing this just to prove they didn't use an AI?

[–] loadingartist@lemmy.world 20 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I can see that happening. It'll be like watching a blacksmith bang on some hot metal at a renaissance fair.

I'm just wondering who has the time to watch somebody draw a comic online. It must be like watching paint dry

[–] loadingartist@lemmy.world 20 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Not true! Paint dries very efficiently and consistently gets the job done, an expert in its field. Meanwhile I get easily distracted and make the process take a whole lot longer than it needs to.

Haha oh I didn't realize it was you! I should really watch your stream before making judgements about it lmao. What kinds of people usually come and watch?

No that's just something some artists do, it's not about proving anything.

Not about proving anything yet. Not hard to foresee it'll have a larger effect as time goes on.

I'm a bit worried that if enough people livestream their work in this way that it would eventually get yoinked as more training data for AI companies to produce "live drawing" machine models.

I dunno about that. The only realistic future imo is that people will stop caring and AI will be treated as an artist's tool.

Not trying to make a moral judgement about it, thats just the only way I can really see it shaking out.

You already know it's only gonna get more impressive and ubiquitous.

Idk. I think the first guy is right that it'll atleast be a way to somewhat verify your product is homemade and hand crafted. Cause I saw a video where a couple was using a bunch of power tools to make some knick knack and adding a handmade tag at the end. Since yeah they did use their hands to use the tools but it wasn't actually hand made in some people's eyes.

So, at least in my opinion, live streaming will be a way for artists/comics/woodworkers/etc. to atleast tell their audience or potential customers they have all the skills required to 100% make it themselves in this style
