Pass it on."
Karl Schwartz, Artist advocateAI Art: How can it be expressive if it's not human?
But I suppose, like photography, the expressive bit can come from the selection (which generated image the artist chooses to showcase?) - and from the instruction given to the agent.
It leaves out the ritual and the joy of the process that can only come from making it by hand.
In a world teeming with #AI images, the rare thing, the valued thing, will be the art made by the hand and conceived by the mind of a human being.
Noodlemaz@lymphomation @mthie except a person points a camera, adjusts the settings, clicks the shutter, processes (darkroom or lightroom/digital equivalent) and post-processes. They were in a place to capture it.
AI has chewed up every human-produced work on the Internet. It spits out a collage of that theft when someone asks it to.
There is a gulf of difference, and zero skill in the latter.
Indeed I'd say it's just a lack of imagination that leads prompt jockeys to think they're doing something.
I generally agree with all of the issues cited. I don't see the need to demonize people who engage in it ... but I agree that it's not art - it's not expressive, it's too easy - all of that.
@lymphomation @mthie it's using the mass theft for personal gain or, worse, brief amusement. I think there's a big issue with that.
More on the topic of #AI as #art - just my take: Are #AI-generated Images Works of Art?
