This is a pretty complex topic, as a quick knee jerk I agree AI art isn’t art in the common sense, but one thing I disagree with is that all art has intent or even needs it.
I don’t think AI art is going to or even tries to replace art as a creative pursuit. If anything it’s more likely to replace certain photography related jobs.
Currently the main use cases are
- Generating stock photos
- Generating texture maps
- Generating concept art
None of these things really care about intent, you could argue concept art does, but a lot of the time it’s just there to set a vibe/direction/theme. All of the above will still replace jobs but not the typical everyday artists jobs, maybe stock or texture photographers though.
Of all the unsettling nonsense here, those teeth are just horrifying. Although the toe-fingers are a close second.
Art isn’t art if it isn’t made by a living being, period.
It’s because you don’t understand their vision – classic idea guy redux
Watching “Artists” bitch about AI has been one of the more fun parts of the 2020’s
I’d love to see you do anything even remotely close to what an artist can do without using AI. But since you probably can’t do anything better than stick figures… Let’s face it people deserve to get paid for their fucking work. It doesn’t matter whether they’re throwing boxes in a warehouse, shuffling papers in an accounting firm, or doing art on the internet.
