For corporations, they treat AI as this golden goose that will replace workers and save them tons of money. Now this depends on the field.

But people are still gonna have a vision, and are gonna wanna have control of that vision. Often times, AI gives you a random result and it may not be what you want.

Also you can tell when something is AI. It tends to look unnatural and lack a sort of soul to it.

Humans draw from emotion and experience and apply it to art. A machine cannot do that (at least not yet, until machines can actually experience).

However, I can see the idea of "AI assisted Art".

Much like how we bring story boards to life, I can see a pencil artist who has no experience with 3D animation, draw up a scene and use AI to render the drawing into something else.

Perhaps you can have a story board artist draw key frames, and use AI to make a full sequence.

Maybe an artist can draw different angles of a character, and a ZBrush-like program can use those drawings to create a 3D version of that character where you can rotate it and edit parts of the character.

Or if you are a 3D modeler, maybe rendering would work differently. I've seen people take 3D apps like blender, make a basic animation with low poly assets, run it through AI, explain the scene and with that animation used as a reference, the AI can utilize that animation a create a full scene into whatever style they want.

I think with AI, the art scene can become a bit more complex when applied to different mediums.

I just think that so long as a human applied their own hands to the art and some effort, it still counts as art.

Is prompting a form of art? Maybe. Like programming, you are essentially telling a computer what to do. Maybe the more detailed the prompt, the better. Perhaps there's effort in that. But I think the artist needs to have a lot of control of a scene, but AI doesn't necessarily allow that (as far as I've seen).

And there is such thing as art created purely through programming. As in artistic programming (and AI can help with that).

I think there is some valid criticisms to AI without us artists sounding like a bunch of luddites. If Ai is to be a thing, it should be a tool for artists to help with their work, not a tool for CEOs to shrink their workforce.

For example, I've been thinking of a mode that might require even bigger maps. But I'd call it "Air Strike".

You got 2 teams, 1 target, 1 team has maybe 6 attack jets and 2 stealth jets, the other team has 4 AAs, and 4 attack jets.

>Objective:
There's a target, one team protects it, and the other team attacks. Almost like Rush but for jets and AAs.

>Setup:
All the vehicles have low health, meaning that one swipe with AA bullets can take down a jet, but simultaneously, one JDam or strafe with bullets can can destroy an AA. There's limited ammo, and limited missiles. If you run out of bombs/missiles/bullets, you have to fly back to base to rearm. Damage will not be repaired.

All players are randomly assigned a vehicle.

For the attacking team, you're either assigned to a stealth jet or an attack jet. The stealth jets have to protect the attack jets. The attack jets have to avoid AA fire and avoid the stealth jets, but stealth jet teammates have to protect them. Other attack jets can take out the AAs. The target has a damage meter, the objective is to completely destroy the target. But like Rush, if too many attack jets are destroyed, the attacking team loses.

For the defending team, the AAs can strategically position themselves while avoiding airstrikes. But they are very vulnerable. But that's where strength in numbers comes in. Stealth jets take off from the base and intercept the attacking team. The objective is to prevent the target from being destroyed. You need run the other team's tickets down by destroying the attack jets.

AAs have long range missiles, but lock-ons take long time, but AAs can track jets and jets know when they're being tracked. This forces the AA to focus on one target. Since they're far away, they shouldn't lock on right away. This gives jets time to react, and gives other attack jets time to flank the AA that is preoccupied, given that other AAs are not paying attention. The AA has to focus on the jet until it locks on, if it looks away, they have to start again. However, the closer the jet, the faster the lock-on.

All vehicles have limited countermeasures
AAs can only repair on the base

Yes this is inspired by Top Gun Maverick.
