Is the rise of AI a threat to creativity, or could it be the spark we’ve all been waiting for? As we stand on the cusp of a new era in digital art and animation, the recent discussions around software like Blender and its evolving development landscape are more relevant than ever. With pioneers like Ton retiring, we must ask ourselves: what does the future hold for open-source creativity? On one hand, tools powered by AI can make artistic processes quicker and more efficient. On the other, will they overshadow the human touch that makes art so unique and personal? I believe that embracing both technology and traditional skills can lead to a more vibrant creative community. What are your thoughts? How do you envision blending AI with your artistic journey? #AIandCreativity #BlenderCommunity #DigitalArt #FutureOfArt #CreativeDiscussion
