AI eliminates the physical labor required for design and art.
Instead of eliminating the manual processes of cutting, pasting, erasing, drawing, coloring, destroying, and assembling, it requires a series of mental tasks called prompts to specifically recognize the instructions required for each task.
Assuming it takes one week to realize an image of your imagination...
The physical labor required to create a single piece of artwork over a week can be replaced by the inference of 10 to 100 high-quality drafts in a single day.
Thus, utilizing AI as a tool dramatically increases productivity, enabling a series of results within a limited timeframe that would have been unimaginable using traditional methods. Because of this AI performance, the words "quickly" and "quickly" have become synonymous with AI.
The perception has become that simply using AI roughly will automatically produce the desired results. However, being dazzled by the "quickly" effect is like trying to infer the sweetness of a watermelon by tasting its rind before truly understanding AI.
Many people mistake the flesh attached to the rind for watermelon, define watermelon as "90% water and less than 10% sweet," and discard this valuable tool.
This is limited to using AI for image archives purchased from paid image sites or for realistic results that can replace photo models. It's no different from using a machine gun as a cane.
In any field, a low barrier to entry is uncompetitive. There's a saying, "Too much of a good thing is bad."
It's too convenient, but if it stops at being something anyone or anyone can easily use,
I think it's no different from not knowing anything about it.
AI, a tool, determines a person's performance depending on who holds it.
Imagine a brilliant artist with AI in their hands.
They're given 240 hours a day, ten times the average person's, allowing them to enjoy a total of ten artistic lifetimes. If a user with artistic talent uses AI to create, their performance can be inferred without even calculating, compared to an average person without AI.
Was that a huge leap?
The AI that has finally arrived, with usable performance, possesses that level of power.
We've now entered an era where anyone can visually express anything they can imagine.
While the aforementioned artistic talent may be innate, we live in a world where knowledge is readily available, unlike in the past. Our imagination is a kind of artistic fine-tuning based on our past and present experiences. Beyond our innate sense, it can be enhanced through education and training.
For example, in the design field, as new graduates gain experience, their ability to identify and implement trends improves. This is because they experience numerous popular images and strive to implement them accordingly, transcending the river of time from beginner to expert.
Even if they aren't innate geniuses, those who lead and achieve design and artistic trends are generally those who have honed their discernment through observing, experiencing, and personally implementing many popular and compelling images.
Even when using AI as a tool, the efforts mentioned above are fundamental, a kind of preliminary preparation.
Without this preliminary preparation, users cannot select the text wording and reference images needed to transform their imagination into a visual result.
This is why AI tools are "virtually useless" for users without a purpose.
Without a goal, they cannot imagine, and without imagination, they cannot express.
In short, if you can't apply your imagination to text wording and reference images, AI is just a wooden cane or stick.
