What is this H@*D-ON everyone has against AI art?!? (Page 10 of 10)

The model didn’t invent the character, write the lines, pick the takes, or sit in the editor. I did. The machine filled frames. That’s a tool. If your rule is “if a computer touched a pixel, no human made it,” then every digital photo, every DAW track, and every CGI shot in the last 30 years is also not made by man. You don’t believe that. You just don’t like this tool. A lot of the heat isn’t about quality. It’s gatekeeping. The same people who needed a gate to stay special are mad that regular people can put a finished thing on a screen. |
The long term future is a mash up of Idiocracy and 1984. "Ow, my balls" meets "He loved Big Brother". The boot on your face will likely be a big red clown shoe, but it'll be there regardless. - pmacb

Don’t pretend popularity is irrelevant when the original complaint was that this stuff has no audience and no author.

Who has said it shouldn’t exist? I’ve only seen you say that. |

The same people who needed a gate to stay special are mad that regular people can put a finished thing on a screen. You’re wrong. I like the tool. It’s just not Art. It’s illustration. It’s not a question of taste. It has absolutely nothing to do with taste or quality. It’s a question of creation and Philosophy. |

It’s a question of creation and Philosophy. Then we’re using different dictionaries. You mean Art as a sacred category that only counts if a human laid down every mark. I mean a person made a thing that didn’t exist, using a tool. That’s creation. Calling it illustration doesn’t change who sat in the editor. |

Calling it illustration doesn’t change who sat in the editor. I think I mentioned before that this may make you a storyteller vs. an artist. I have delusions of eventually making movies using AI myself; it doesn’t make me a filmmaker, it makes me a storyteller using a different medium to share my stories with the world. |

Call it storytelling. I’m not going to tell you your stories aren’t yours because of the toolset. That’s the part I won’t do to you, and it’s the part I won’t accept from anyone else. |

That's the one thing I don't like about not being a member. Every other website on the planet gives you that for free. |

Listen, we're in the weeds. Here's my point: Somebody looks at a house I built with AI bricks and says I didn’t build it. Yes I did. I designed it, I placed the bricks, I mortared them. It exists. It wasn’t there before. You can hate the color. You can hate the architecture. You don’t get to say the house isn’t standing. That's my angle on this whole debate. |

That's my angle on this whole debate. You are debating an imaginary foe. Make all the “AI brick” houses you want. Still not Art.  Heck, a pasted together collage of “AI bricks” actually does sound like a decent piece of Art. What’s the piece about? |
