As a person with a foot in each camp, who trains his own models from images of his own artwork, I'm curious...

It seems traditional artists have an aversion to AI art, and vice-versa, but art gourmands seem all over the place. I appreciate any shares/votes on this!

@lorenhall art is vastly overrated we need to go back to the seventeenth century where art had to prove it's worth and artists had to sell works, and do the work to survive. AI could help with this. Weed out the rubbish.

@SideWalkAstronomyNetherlands Personally I don't need an AI to weed out rubbish for me, tyvm. And unless they had rich patrons or the good graces of Peggy Guggenheim, artists have always had to survive on their own merits. Those merits change according to the whims of societal taste, not any one person's personal preferences.

@lorenhall well tis just I saw a lot of rubbish here in musea, the Kröller Müller for example had heaps of sand as art a few years back...come on... and 17th century pin-ups, no that's not art, it never was.. I'm Dutch, don't try selling heaps of sand as art I say to this Museum.

@lorenhall My theory is that Rubbish is easier to make with an AI and it would flood the market :)
