It’s because those friends were fine encouraging you when you were all amateurs together…but if you put the work in and level up, then it can be a harsh wake-up call to the folks in your life who haven’t put the same work and time into their own dreams. And it’s almost always the friends who also wanted to become an author. I work with so many authors, and it’s a given that when you publish your first book you lose a good number of friends. It’s very common for artists and authors to lose friends when they make the jump to “going pro” and finding success. Some of you will read this and say, duh, I have experienced this first hand.

That prompting an AI generator is as valid a form of art as picking up a pencil and drawing.
That it doesn’t take hard work to master. This kind of person wants to believe that making art is nothing special. And I’m seeing it more and more frequently, and it is absolutely powering the AI Art debates.
People want to believe that creativity has a curse attached to it.įolks that fall into this category really do want to see artists fail so that they feel better about themselves. Of course the more dramatic stories get retold more often, but there’s more to it than that. Van Gogh, Caravaggio, Baudelaire…a big part of the appeal to of these tragic figures to non-artists, and why their life stories are repeated over and over, is because many people don’t like to see an artist have a nice sane existence and career and make solid work and survive. This is actually the power behind the persistent myth of the starving or suffering/tragic artist. If they can see enough artists fail, they can convince themselves that not making art was the right choice - even while that lack of creativity gnaws a hole in them. I’m talking about people who once wished they could be creative but never took the risk or put in the time going out of their way to revel in seeing any hint that the artist life is not worth it, or a failure in some way. “Destructiveness is the outcome of an unlived life.”īy which he means that not following your heart, not following your dreams, turns people bitter, and drives them to make everyone else also miserable - and furthermore they will focus specifically on the people that lived out the life that they couldn’t attain.Īnd look, who among is has never been guilty of a little schadenfreude, right? But that’s not what I’m talking about. I’m in the middle of his book The Anatomy of Human Destructiveness, and the basic tenet of that work is that: His most famous work is The Art of Loving, and I found so relevant and interesting to today’s age that I went down a rabbit hole reading some of his other books. Recently I’ve also been reading Erich Fromm, a psychoanalyst who published in the 1940s-50s.
“The most regretful people on earth are those who felt the call to creative work, who felt their own creative power restive and uprising, and gave to it neither power nor time.” I ran across a quote by poet Mary Oliver, who wrote extensively on the creative life: The AI issue seems to have unearthed a very deep resentment of non-artists towards artists. Something that surprised me and seems to keep popping up more and more frequently is the hostility that non-creatives are bringing to these debates.

And the fight around these platforms is ongoing - Karla Ortiz just made it all the way to testifying in front of the US Congress on these issues (you can read her full statement here and watch a bit from CSPAN here) - but this month I’m actually going to focus on something that’s been bothering me even more than the legal and ethical issues surrounding these platforms. Looking back, about half my posts this year have been related in some way to generative AI.

Over the last year I’ve been neck-deep in the issues around AI Art and AI text generators and how this tech affects my professional creative worlds of Book Publishing and Art Direction.
