Seek Yourself First

Art is a philosophical conundrum that changes with time. AI will change the art landscape by making everyone a content creator. There are two types of people in the art world: performers and artists. Performers gather attention and focus on clicks, likes, and views. Artists have something to say and prioritize self-expression. Art is not about the audience, it is about the artist. The definition of a content creator is someone who wants to be seen but doesn't necessarily have something to say. We have overvalued the idea of selling out and undervalued the true essence of being an artist. The conversation explores the role of art in expressing complex ideas and emotions. It discusses how art allows non-artists to view and feel something, and how artists have the ability to simplify complex ideas into a single image. The conversation also touches on the challenges faced by artists, including the problems of the high-end art world and the financial struggles of Hollywood. It concludes by mentioning the impact of AI on the entertainment industry and the importance of artists who understand the creative process. The art world is going to shrink down to a minimal few, with or without resources, because of fame or in spite of fame. Artists will be revealed with AI, not eliminated. Art has started to get murky and we now call people content creators. A content creator is usually good at marketing and has enough narcissism to think that what they should be marketing is just themselves. Our contribution to society as artists is our ability to be emotional, empathetic, creative, and kind creatures. Love is for the artist and for those who recognize who true artists are. The ability to say it in a way that touches people is what sets great artists apart. Artists like Tesla and Mozart were true artists who created experiences through their work. They were not just marketers. Today, much of what we know about science and music is based on the artistry of these great minds. The artist of tomorrow is someone who can understand and identify the human experience and create something new and unique.
