I think the AI Dino is fine. Just don’t claim it as anything but AI.

Note that you don't think its awesome . The best case scenario for someone normal is for them to be totally neutral. To think "its fine." The worst case is they think less of you and anything associated. That is not a worthwhile risk - and thats the thing I am super confused more people don't have an intuitive sense of.

I think the AI dino is fine.

I'm not aware of anyone judging my taste in art and thinking less of me. If they judge, they do so silently.

Corrected: a certain type of very loud and very online person in your audience hates AI art and thinks less of you for using it. But that doesn't matter, because the game theory they outlined is directionally right. The cohort of people who hate AI art is relatively small. But the cohort of people who love it is even smaller. People can generally spot it, and most people are indifferent to it. Having said that: I thi…

Euphoric reddit dwellers like the OP could step outside and immediately observe how ChatGPT slop art is already everywhere, and no one gives a damn. Actually, I would pay good money to see this kind of """socially literate""" internet dweller chastising the hard working guys of my local sushi buffet for daring to generate a sign with AI or something.

Why? Do you think that artists would mind if there are no programming jobs out there? I expect no because I know much artistic people that now just say 'Cool, AI can now program my website or some other stuff for me'.

What a fascinating take. Framing it like "they wouldn't care if your jobs went away!" Like wtf? What world is this that you live in?

As a programmer and an artist, I very much need programmers to do programming stuff and artists to do art stuff.

I don't need programmers pretending to do art while artists struggle to do anything.

It's like talking to cultists in here.

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.

i think other animals can create art too if they really want to, but most animals choose not to.

This trend of “everybody hates AI!” articles from bluesky people is becoming really tiresome. Every week it’s a new variant on that theme, and never substantiated. Major yawn.

I talk to a lot of people not in tech and the divide is clear: they hate AI, they hate AI art, and they hate AI companies. They seem to hate it all less if they are unsure if it's AI, but that's a different discussion.

The seems in contradiction with AI content on Instagram and Facebook that get a disturbing amount of likes from real people.

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”.

Most clip art is actual art like my child’s drawings are “art”.

when people talk about AI art they aren't talking about using photoshop smart select to remove a lamppost, and it's pretty disingenuous to pretend they might be. Clip art was created for specific purposes by humans, and continues to find use in those niches.

I’m not talking about smart select, but generative AI. It can certainly be used as a tool in art.

What I especially hate are slides of diagrams that could have been made with Draw.io or Excalidraw but were made with Nano Banana instead. They ALWAYS look jank. Better than late last year, but still very jank.

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?

By what definition? While I would say that arguing by definition is pretty pointless, here's one from Cambridge Dictionary:

> art (noun) - the making of objects, images, music, etc. that are beautiful or that express feelings

Gatekeeping the definition by excluding certain tools from being used in the creative process feels very silly to me.
