***********************************

There were plenty of sci-fi films that managed to predict many phenomena, whose seeds are visible today. Virtual reality, artificial intelligence, interstellar travel, and so on. However, mostly when movies are trying to guess the future, they guess a dystopian one, ruined by humanity's developments.

Yet, I think that a dystopian future means more for the present than the future (as an outcome of the present). I don't know why, but when I try to guess what would happen in the future, I think it would be better for humanity.

As an artist, I saw how anachronistically disrespectful other artists responded to A.I. paintings. However, I'm confident that the A.I. will positively revolutionize the world of art. I think A.I. will indeed change the way we observe art. More than the camera did. In a sense, the challenge will be to draw in special and interesting ways with otherworldly styles.

And that's because, maybe, the A.I. will be able to draw with greater precision and perfection than humans; even hands. Of course, we can be oblivious to every development, just as many other professionals were throughout history before their professions went extinct.

For now, it seems many artists respond like that. Honestly, I already have a few ideas about what to do next with A.I., at least in animation, at least. I do not see A.I. paintings as a problem, because, to begin with, I prefer as many special styles in art as possible. It interests me even more than perfectionist techniques.

Hence, I see no problem with the idea that humans and A.I. will draw together or separately in the same reality. I will attempt to draw new styles as if they came from other worlds to challenge the A.I.

For example, a friend from the Hi-Tech industry told me that he's scared that AI will take his job. My answer for him was to advise the A.I. And then I added that my hope is that it will create an utopia where no one will have to work.

I will be embarrassed in the future if A.I. changes human order for the better and becomes a reality. Embarrassed, as an artist, that a few conservative artists who definitely understand art, will attempt to stop the utopia.

Just like we were eradicated by Ned Lud, retroactively, and by anyone who attempted to block human progress.

Of course, a minority may lose out on this positive revolution, but I don't refer to artists. And that's why I will recognize A.I. as a legitimate, revolutionary entity.
