The Unyielding Spirit of Human Creativity: The Battle Against AI Art
Defending the Essence of Artistry in the Battle Between Human Touch and AI Imitations
As we venture further into the digital age, we are witnessing the increasing prevalence of AI-generated works in the artistic landscape. While these creations may mimic artistic styles, they lack the unique blend of human emotion, experience, and creative spirit that truly defines art. It is this personal touch that elevates human-made art, setting it apart from the sterile and soulless manifestations of AI.
David Holz, the founder and CEO of Midjourney, revealed in an interview with Forbes that his company has trained its AI-image generator using assets without consent, sparking outrage among artists and photographers. Although AI-generated images might offer a superficial allure, they ultimately fall short of capturing the essence of true artistry. As the works of AI are rooted in the bytes of a programmer, they can never achieve that je ne sais quoi that is intrinsically woven into human-made art.
Cultural concepts such as Wabi-sabi, Duende, Qi, Mana, Bhava, Numen, Ikhlas, and Neshama all attempt to describe the unique connection an artist infuses into their work. It is this intangible quality that AI will never be able to transcend, leaving it confined to producing aesthetically pleasing yet hollow imitations.
Art is inherently an elitist pursuit, where meritocracy reigns supreme. In stark contrast, AI seeks to democratise and consequently devalue art. While there is a place for AI creations in the broader creative ecosystem, considering them as symbiotic with human creations represents a travesty of the highest order.
In light of this, the soon-to-be-unveiled WOKESCREEN STORE aims to champion individualism, creativity, and the free market, providing a unique platform within the Wokescreen ecosystem. At WOKESCREEN™, we wholeheartedly believe that creatives hold the key to driving us towards victory, and we are committed to building the creative counter-cultural revolution to make it so.
The WOKESCREEN STORE is not just a marketplace, but a thriving community of disaffected cultural refugees who share a passion for fighting back with their unique creative gifts. We are dedicated to re-humanising the battle and doing everything in our power to empower individuals in their creative endeavours.
The store will provide an exceptional opportunity for creatives to share and promote their work, with up to 100% of profits going directly back to them. In these challenging times, it's not enough to simply comment on the issues we face. Instead, we must proactively build a counter-culture that leverages the trendsetters, the savants, and the misfits, in order to defeat the woke insurgency.
WOKESCREEN is set to become the most potent creative endeavour, leading the charge on the frontlines of the counter-cultural revolution. Support our fight and join us in creating the only viable plan to take the battle to the enemy. By taking back control of the narrative and providing a battalion of cultural refugees, we are making a stand.
