Art & AI interview with Creammy

(Cover made with NightCafeAI)

Specialized in 3D Arts and VTuber streamer with two different channels, her team, is highly notorious in the streaming scenario, they are responsible for creating the command !s2, which has the function of promoting another streamer. Today's guest is Creammy with her lives being composed of games, conversations and handicrafts, her secondary Meoowgic channel focuses on arts and drawings.

Following is our conversation.


How is the use of AI's in 3D arts? Have you ever used one?

I never used it, I couldn't even say if it exists.
What would be an image generated by AI? Something that was taken from several artists and put together by a robot.
In 3D artists already make assets for you to put in a VTuber model and use it. Sometimes for free, sometimes paid.
But if there is a 3D AI to create models, I don’t know it.

I came across this article on the use of AI's in 3D, you can read it and elaborate more your answer

In the case of this article, this is renders made by an AI; a render is an image made of a 3D, it can be a model, a landscape, a cube, etc… a 3D model is what you put on the program to do the render.
Some 3D models are available on the internet for free, I find it difficult to an AI make a model that people want to use because there are many ways to make one.

What are the most common arguments you witness against or in favor of AI's?

I am against it, but I have seen arguments in both ways. Cons usually are "It will end the artists", "this is stealing our art”, and I agree with both.
Every AI need an image bank to work, and they mimic the trace of a specific artist. For me this just is a copy.

Do you think there is any means of avoiding this copy/theft of arts?

Yes, but it would have to come from the AI creators themselves. The DeviantArt for example has created an AI, and in the site settings you can choose to let your image be used by AI or not.
For me the ideal would be if an AI were created and her bank were the artists who sent their own art, like ShutterStock for example.

Do you believe it is possible for artists to be completely replaced by AI's?

No. My fear is that the creators of images generated by IA start to think they are artists and start claiming ownership for some image they have generated.
There was a case of an artist and streamer who was making an art on his Live, and before he finished, a person took a screen shot and put it on AI to finish; As soon as the streamer ended, the creator of the image by AI said the streamer should make some reference to him, as he "finished the art first.”
And this can happen here in Brazil too, because people are so ignorant that they do not understand the concepts of art and not being artists in fact, this can generate a great scandal.

Raiden’s case again ... This is a problem related to the ethics and moral of a person and may be solved by law, taking this into consideration: you think it would be possible to regulate the arts market with help of a government monitoring system?

I think so, but at the same time I don't. The programmers behind the AI would have to follow the law, and every artist who enters the database would have to sign that he is agreeing with it; But if any ordinary person who is using these AI’s to generate art makes an upload of an artist he likes and is not currently in the database, how could they monitor this?
And there is also the fact that AI code can "leak" and someone can make a different website or program, it's hard for the government to do something about it.

Do you think it is fair to use IA at an event or contest? Like Jason Allen did.

No, and I also don't agree that such people can enter the Artist Valley.
Most art contests say you can only enter with an art of your own; An image generated by AI is not your own because it uses other people's art. If he had used the image he generated as a reference, then in my opinion it would be valid.

What is the future of these AI's in your opinion?

That art must have two categories: manual art and images generated by AI.
But art is indeed hard to learn and improve, so many people will choose to be creators of Image by AI; But one day this will saturate, just as it happened with NFT.

Let's finish here, would you like to add something?

I want to leave a message for the artists. You are amazing, keep studying, do your best. It is not the amount of likes that says your art is good or bad, in this new business model where you need to be artists, influencer, video editor, and more, this makes us focus on the engagement of publications and not in our own progress. We already have many problems with our own art to be worrying about people who are not even artists.


This was today's guest, who is also open to teach about art:

"If anyone wants to ask questions about 3D, they can ask me on Twitch or Twitter"

She also makes an honorable mention to her friend and teammate:

Miki does art studies on Twitch at 2pm. She is an amazing artist that I am very proud of, I saw her evolution as a streamer and as an artist; She is always ready to help”

This was the last interview of this series; the conclusion that it is also my personal opinion will come out on the last day of this month
