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 Tools.

The raw output of an oscilloscope has certain properties that can be eye pleasing.

However, if one were to take the raw output of an oscilloscope and slap their moniker on it, it's not something they created. It was created by the oscilloscope.

Howeverever, if one were to take that same oscilloscope output, mold it, fold it, hold it, date it for 2 years... then specific elements within change. Some elements once made by the tool then can become a product of the creator.

@Soupalphabet The fact that they did not create the oscilloscope image would not matter. They would still slap their name on it because their job as the artist was capturing that image. A photographer isn't responsible for making the Eiffel Tower, just photographing it. The artist just aimed and pushed a button.

This is why at one time digital art and photography were not considered real art.

...Even though they are.
