Not too long ago, everyone was saying that art was the most difficult thing for an AI to do. That's why everyone had this utopian view of machines doing all the work while humans just spent their days making art.
Art was supposed to be the insanely difficult something that only humans could do.
It still is. It mixes and matches shit together but real art is something it can't do.
Humans are the same though.
All art is derivative, nothing is truly original.

As someone who has tried out a lot of open source image AIs, I would say that 'original art' is something it can't do. It can make a lot of stuff, but if you deviate too far from the topics it knows it just stops giving you what you asked for. In addition to this, most of the originality the generations do have comes only from the prompt.
This is the explanation that artists that don't work with AI use, but it's not actually how generative AI works.
No real art
thanks ! phew
I have been studying/working with AI for 15 years now. And even back then "AI" art was still a thing, just very abstract.
Any person who was talking about art being the most difficult thing for AI to do was either talking very philosophically or was just someone trying to sound smart.
