MODERATORS
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?
