Ahh yes, the camera bullshit. Here we go…
Yes a photographer is an artist. They need to know light diffusion, locational effects, distance and magnification, aperture, shutter speed, and have a subject prepped and able to take direction. They also have to have an insane understanding of post process editing.
They don’t simply type a sentence into a computer and get beautiful photographs.
A child can produce the exact same image by simply typing the exact same sentence into a computer.
A child cannot be given a camera and be tasked to produce the exact same quality photo of a professional photographer- and succeed.
So stop with this bullshit comparison. It’s apples and oranges.
Did you read the rest of the comment or did you stop after the first sentence?
I didn’t need to. The moment photography was brought up as a comparison, that’s all I needed to know.
AI is not art. Period.
Let's say I've been an artist for 10 years. I take all my work and stick it into an AI model. That model starts generating images based on the art I've created in the past 10 years. Have I stopped being an artist because I put down the brush and picked up a keyboard?
How would a child produce the exact same image if they don't have my AI model?
You did not stop to be an artist, you just stopped to make art and every kid is able to recreate what you did, because all it have to do is type your name in prompts.
More than that, every kid drawing with a crayons on papers or on tablet is more creative than you this time.
Congratulations! You’re now a poet for having typed that sentence!
Are you okay?
If I run this through AI, do I get to be an “artist” like you?
The moment your art was run through AI, it was no longer yours, and no longer art.
I’m done talking about this. I stated my point, my opinion, and I have no intention to change it. AI is garbage.
If you want to be the old man yelling how the world is changing for the worse, go ahead. You are entitled to your conservative opinion.
k. Thanks! I have been waiting for weeks for permission from an AI “artist” to be allowed to have an opinion on something.
You’ve helped me out a lot!
That assumes you have a big enough data set to even make anything useful with just your art. And we know that that was not the case here
That's not the case here and I think the artist in the article has no claim to that image. I'm against the general idea that using AI instantly disqualifies someone as an artist, which is what the other person believes.
Um. A macaque did. And every photo a child takes with a smartphone is considered to be sufficiently creative as to be a copyrightable work. It doesn't need to be "good" to be art.
"What is art" can be a difficult question. But "how difficult was it to create it" is not the answer.
If a skillless child can reproduce it with no training but a command of their language of origin, it’s not art. You can give a child a camera but they’re not gong to be Ansel Adams. Yet you can give a child a computer and voilà! You have Stable Diffusion.
I’m not arguing this with you any further.
The art is in the eye, not the device. People made the same or similar claims about photography. "It's just reproduction not creation!" "It's just operating a machine that does all the work!"
AI is a tool - the person is the creative.
You may not like the art - but that's not to say it's not art. Either way I think it's a creative work and worthy of at least the option to be considered art.
In my eye, AI isn’t art and using AI doesn’t make one an artist. In fact I think it’s an insult to at and artists that talentless hacks are now claiming the title when it takes a lifetime to develop a craft to become an artist.
It’s shameful.
In my eye Jackson Pollock is a no-talent hack who created meaningless crap that looks like somebody left a 2yr old unsupervised in the arts and crafts room at school. And I think it's an insult to other artists that his work is so heavily prized.
But we're talking about the quality of the work here aren't we? Not whether it is a work at all. You're effectively saying that you don't value the work because it was easy. Which is fine - that's your value call. But to deny that it's a creative work at all is an entirely different thing.
And you’re allowed to think that with no argument from me. But do you see how many people have rushed to tell me how I’m wrong with their shit examples?
AI isn’t art. It never will be. Using AI doesn’t make someone an artist. This is what I think. And it’s going to have to be okay.
AI can be art. And you're like the people criticizing the first photographers saying what they did wasn't art. This is what I think.
And it’s going to have to be okay.
No, it’s not going to be okay being accused of something that I’m not. Photography IS art. AI is NOT art. So I’m not at all like the people saying it wasn’t.
You’re free to disagree with me on what is or isn’t art, but don’t accuse me of being like anything until you know exactly what I’m actually like.
Cool?
Cool. You’re now a novelist because of That paragraph. Congratulations!
