Listening to my baby brother, a student of 3D modeling and animation, discussing his projects with passion and excitement, I often find a mixture of pride and worry coursing through me. I, too, walked a similar path as a design student and later as a creative professional. I’m well-acquainted with the competitive landscape that awaits him. Yet, the challenge facing him is one that was barely visible during my studying years – it’s the overpowering wave of generative AI.
And it’s not just my brother who feels this looming unease. Across campuses, similar sentiments prevail. The reality struck home when earlier this year, CalArts witnessed a small protest where students displayed posters seeking AI artists’ help for a thesis – only to be later tampered with. This scenario unveils the escalating tension between the celebration of traditional art forms and the emerging dominance of AI in the creative sphere.
On the other hand, there’s also an ongoing debate on the evolving curriculum at creative institutions. One that is increasingly incorporating generative AI tools, splitting opinions between those who see it as a critical adaption to the changing times and those who fret over the plausible impact on traditional art forms and the genuineness of artistic expression.
It indeed is a critical juncture for our educational institutions as they are bound to make difficult choices – standing at the cusp of innovation and the essential doctrines of artistic education. Therefore, it falls upon the students and educators to strike a balance between embracing the new and preserving the traditional. No doubt, the path to this delicate equilibrium brings its fair share of hurdles and opportunities for the aspiring artists and designers of tomorrow.
