This is just cope over time you won't be able to tell if an image is Ai generated, human coded or the way things are going real pictures or video. As Ai at the end of the day is a tool if people don't like the output they keep changing till they like it. People make wrongly future predictions looking at current output ie first encounter but fail to count for improvement over time. 3 years ago the biggest topic was th…

Lets just put that aside for a minute because right now, in the present, people often can tell. And when they can tell, which is often, it is a net negative choice to use AI art. Which is my point.

And my point is Ai is a tool people will adjust it to what they like over time so people Hate Ai Art today would be the more accurate statement. You need to qualify your statement

I can draw. But since I didn't keep at it for decades now, I am, at best, at the same level as I was when I was in my twenties. It sucks but I suppose computers came along and stole away all my leisure (and later professional) time. My choice. (I regret it often though.) So, while I could do incidental art for a project I am working on, AI is going to do better than I could. (I have uploaded sketches of mine though a…

> AI is going to do better than I could

I don't know about that. Lots of people use AI to write text for them, saying "AI makes it sound better"—but the truth is, it doesn't make it sound better. It makes it sound a lot worse, and pisses off the people you want to read it. So does AI draw better than you could? Well, if you did the drawing, would it make your customer base hate it? Because AI art probably will. I don't know if that's "better".

People hate AI compositions, especially from a publication. There are many valid uses for AI image generators. My nieces and I have a blast coming up with stories and illustrating them with generated images. It is even better when they hallucinate an extra finger or ear, we can work it into the story. I also like to use AI as a sort of filter on pictures that I took. Make a photo look like a drawing, for example. It…

Honestly the blowback against AI in "art" feels overblown to me, but I'm not someone that's actually appreciative of art in general (I don't visit art exhibits etc)

However, to understand their viewpoint you only need to think about what art originally meant: it is something with which the artist tries to convey something. It is - in is purest form - an expression of another person.

This is somewhat offset by "art" as a salaried job. But it's worth noting that this profession has generally been seen as a necessary evil to make ends meet.

Now AI art comes along and generally removes the humans expression from the equation. To the artist, this is like a complete perversion of what they consider core to their identity.

And artists have always been am incredibly loud minority - hence you hear their complaints a lot. Complaints which are understandable, but honestly are exaggerated. Esp. If you consider where AI will go from here over the next 10 years.

Most “AI art” is art like “clip art” is art. This is a phase that will pass. There will be (and already are) legitimate artists who leverage AI as a creative tool like any other medium/tool (Photoshop, cameras, paint brushes, etc). I respect them even if others immediately dismiss anything AI related.

Clip art is actual art, unlike AI “art”.

Goodbye doodling and tapping into the power of childhood imagination. A horrid crutch.

Very low quality article. Makes a lot of unsubstantiated (though probably true) claims. Spends unnecessarily many words shitting on AI generated images and the people who prompt them.

it's creepy and soulless and evil and lacks any artistic value and trained on data stolen from real artists while simultaneously devaluing our work, of course we hate it.

I’m a little surprised that people think drawing is the noble, highly protected pursuit to be done by humans only, and violating that notion is a social crime.

But everyone else’s craft? Fuck them. Those are obviously fair game.

By definition, there is no such thing as AI art or generative art. All I can se in article are images.

Maybe we should focus more on how to use correct terms of why our language is changing?

Define ego

The conscious, rational part of the psyche that defines an individual's sense of self-worth and identity, mediating between reality and instinct.
