The J&J Show E4 - If AI is making art, do we still need artists?

A few weeks ago, we saw a TikTok that sparked real debate between us. It was a video made by Jacob Seeger, who just gained access to DALL-E2.

DALL-E 2 isn’t the first AI software with the ability to generate images. Launched in April 2022, this new AI system can create original, realistic images and art from a text description, combining concepts, attributes and styles.

Despite not being around for very long, DALL-E 2 has already caused quite a commotion, leaving people feeling that this new technology will be disruptive to the arts due to its ability to know how to make images that are aesthetically pleasing to the human eye.

In this episode, we give a bit more context into DALL-E 2, discuss some issues that have already arisen, as well as debate our feelings about DALL-E 2 in the context of the art world. Is DALL-E 2 coming for our careers? Is this new technology already flawed by replicating our Western biases? Are our degrees in fine art worthless now? How is DALL-E 2 making its way into mainstream culture? Stay tuned to find out!

We really hope you enjoy this episode!!!
