If it's right to ridicule people for buying shein clothes, supporting sexist influencers or spending money on gacha games, then it's also OK to ridicule them for enjoying AI art. It is correct to be against behaviors that hurt society even if they don't have an immediate, direct effect on you. You deserve what you tolerate.

It helps that currently it's overwhelmingly dogshit, the linked video illustrating that quite well, with it being a random collection of glitched out, disconnected images with no soul. And don't get me started on the Suno slop flooding youtube...

Disliking AI art work just because someone used AI is like disliking paintings because someone used a paintbrush.

AI is merely a tool.

[–] DmMacniel@feddit.org 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Except its not. GenAI is not comparable to the paintbrush, as a paintbrush doesn't get trained by millions of existing artpieces and tries to obey the prompt by the user to create a fitting art-remix.

[–] Dirk@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Except it is, because the prompt doesn’t write itself. The art is writing the “perfect prompt” for getting the desired result.

[–] DmMacniel@feddit.org 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

so the perfect prompt is the art, not the "AI Art" then? Then why do the "Ai Artists" not post those perfect prompts but the resulting "AI Art"?

[–] DaleGribble88@programming.dev 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

For the same reason painters display their canvases and not their brushes.

[–] DmMacniel@feddit.org -1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

do painters consider their brushes as their art?

Disliking AI is like disliking an artist who learnt someone else's signature artstyle by copying their work and then making something new in the same style

[–] BroBot9000@lemmy.world -5 points 1 year ago

Absolutely. It’s not art, no talent or skill involved, no thought on shading or composition, no thoughts on colour balance or what the feeling you are trying to convey is.

All Ai is, is a gambling machine. It spits out random shit stolen from other artists and trying to counterfeit human expression.
