AI “art” has made me realize how important part human behind art is to the point where I will never pay for any AI “art”. AI “art” is worthless and I would even say it devalues rest of the thing, if its part of some bigger whole like game for example. I do not want to see it, I dont want even glimpse. When I see AI “art”, its only a reminder to me of theft that has been done to make it happen and of some smarmy slimy techbro behind it. Whenever I see AI “art” only thing I feel is either sad or angry depending on day.
If I was religious type, Id even go as far as say I believe in soul now because how soulless AI “art” is.
I am fucking sick of it and deeply despise AI “art” in its entirety with every fiber of my being.
I am sure I will get downvoted to deepest depths by techbros and people who dont care and simply consume whatevers brought in front of them, use every AI filter they get their hands on. But hey, I was asked, I gave my answer.
They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
I’m not exactly a visual artist who stands to lose something in this armsrace, but that’s how I tend to look at it. As a software engineer I’m fascinated by the possibilities. There were people who despised the camera when it came to be. I firmly believe that once the AI hype dies down “real” human-made art will not have suffered any setback. At the end of the day this is still people building tools to imitate something worth imitating. Nothing is ever fully original.
If someone can’t see the value in art that took actual human effort to make then that is on them. If a tool is built upon millions of existing pieces of human artistic effort to make it available to the general public I’d see this as less deplorable than copying a CD to a cassette tape in the 80s. If someone tried to make money by selling what is essentially other people’s work then that is obviously a different story, no matter what is being misappropriated.
