 | As a beginner painter, I noticed I was missing skill to paint what I wanted, so I started taking pictures and asking ChatGPT to help me achieve my goals. At the beginning, it worked really well and I got more comfortable at handling color palettes, composition, values, shadowing techniques, etc. We also talked about the intention of the painting, artists that did similar things, the context of my art supplies and what painting means to me. I completed a good number of projects that I'm proud of. (First picture I painted it before this, second picture is from last week) Then I stopped enjoying it. I let ChatGPT turn me into a perfectionist that wasn't trying to express herself anymore, or enjoying painting intricate pieces. It even told me things that I had proposed to do like 'no, that's not going to turn well, don't waste time on something like that, do this first'. And from then I had to overexplain abstract ideas about the painting (for example emotions in elements) because ChatGPT dropped empathy to almost 0. I knew since the beginning that it is just an AI that tokenizes any input, including pictures of my art, into text. What I've learned is that this AI is very convincing at making you believe it understands higher levels of non-verbal communication. From its perspective, painting creativity is a byproduct of a certain prompt or exercise ('make a collage made of tree textures only', so ofc I'd need to improvise), and not an almost spontaneous burst of expansive intelligence contained in a non-verbal object (sounds very epic but that's how I see it). TLDR: If you want to self-educate yourself with AI, it will add the 'productivity and efficiency' factor into the conversation, which may or may not be the best for what you're looking for.
