Recently, a heated debate has emerged on a comment
forum in Japan, where several members discussed the controversial opinion
that artists complaining about the rise of AI are
actually the least talented and incompetent on the market . According
to some forum participants, these complaints are comparable to those who
opposed machines during the Industrial Revolution, fearing losing their jobs to
the new technology.
Proponents of this position argue that, just as in
the Industrial Revolution, there are people who see AI as a threat to their
livelihoods. However, they maintain that if an artist is truly
talented, an AI could never surpass him. This debate highlights a
significant divide in the arts community. While some see AI as tools
that can potentially improve and complement human work, others perceive it as a
direct threat to their profession and creativity.
The ability of artificial intelligence to generate
illustrations from instructions, training with millions of images available on
the Internet, has sparked a violent reaction among many artists. The
art community's rejection of AI is primarily based on the idea that these
technologies do not create original art, but rather copy and combine pieces of
existing art created by real people.
On the other hand, some industry analysts argue that
artificial intelligences can democratize access to artistic creation, allowing
more people to experiment with art and produce works without the need for
advanced technical skills. However, this does not diminish concerns
that the proliferation of AI-generated art could saturate the market and
devalue the work of human artists.

if they are losing their only source of income, I'm sure more than one
will be upset .»

people who thought they were the only ones who wouldn't lose their jobs to
AI ."

is everything to me! ».
- « It
is quite rare to find a profession that does not lose its job due to AI .»
- « I
think it would be better if the AI did all the original drawings for the
animations. They are practically earning 300 yen an hour, and it would be
better for the world if we let them go .
- « I
think the industry as a whole would be healthier if all but a few
high-level players disappeared. Animators and other human beings should
not be able to do this job .
- « It
would be better to replace everyone except those who manage with AI, the
truth is. There is no need to use humans if all they do is draw the
original paintings .
- « White
collar workers are frustrated. That is why AI is occupying all jobs .
- « Will
AI also be used for voice acting? Personally, I would like the voices of
the deceased to be used .
- « Why
do you feel angry that those who have no productivity or low productivity
are eliminated? ».
- « It
is estimated that Japan will be the country in the world that will lose
the most jobs at the hands of AI. "South Korea and China will take
jobs from Japan with AI ."
- “ Japan
will lose the most jobs to AI in the world, but Japan can't even create a
new industry with AI, according to estimates, which makes me feel ashamed .”
- " Fools
trying to protect their vested interests is pretty ugly too ."
- « No
matter how much noise they make here, both artists and white-collar
workers will be replaced by AI .»
