Abstract

Generative AI has the potential to augment artists’ creative expression, while simultaneously harming their professions through unethical data collection practices and replacement of human labor. We conducted a thematic analysis of social media posts to understand artists’ perceptions and experiences of the direct and indirect impact of generative AI on their profession. Our findings also highlight growing public distrust toward artists amidst the rise of generative AI, with accusations of using AI tools leading to stress and fear of unemployment. Our study provides valuable insights into the complex interplay between artists, generative AI, and the public. We discuss potential protective measures for artists, including regulatory interventions and opt-in/out data collection, and explore future impacts of generative AI on artists’ creative processes.
