By now, you've probably heard of AI art tools - DALL-E 2, Midjourney, Stable Diffusion, and more. With these, anyone can make art in seconds. Artists, understandably, have concerns about that. This technology has quickly become both very popular and very controversial.

Since we got access to DALL-E 2 a few weeks ago, my friend Justin and I have been sending our creations back and forth. It’s a lot of fun. Justin is a designer and animator who works with me on Huge If True. He’s an artist. I’m… not so much.

What I noticed as Justin and I were making these is: His were way better than mine!
It didn’t feel like the AI was leveling the playing field between us. It felt like it was giving me new skills - but it was giving HIM superpowers.

So, we set up a little competition to test that. We each made art with and without AI tools, then mixed them up and asked you to vote on them...

This isn’t a story about how “AI is gonna replace artists.” It’s a story, like many, many before, of what happens when you give people a powerful new tool.
It's about how technology, IF we use it right, can unlock more of our very human creativity...

Should artists be allowed to make “ghost art”, that is art that is created without using AI generation and content moderation tools?

Just watched it. Fascinating!! Our startup is planning to use Ai generated art for some products and it has been massively helpful ✌
