I'm not against using AI for personal entertainment or education or anything, although paying for AI software does benefit companies I don't support. As a principle I'm against ripping off artists. To me the recent news of Meta using Libgen to teach their AI is the worst kind of offence. Private lives have been ruined because of piracy and now the richest companies in the world are abusing the works of others.

It's not really super interesting for me to argue what's art and what's not. Literally anything can be art. For me personally good art comes from self. It has meaning, soul, it often takes great efforts and time to make, and good art makes me feel and think and learn, good art is awesome and impressive.

I'll admit that I'm biased when it comes to AI generated content. Sure it makes me feel (mostly annoyed, but also scared and frustrated) and AI stuff in general IS interesting from a technology viewpoint. I see it's application as a tool, even though it's not for me. But AI art doesn't come from self or soul or whatever. It might be art but it's shit art. Slop. Often also ugly to look at, full of mistakes and nonesense details. It's lazy, it's without imagination and requires no talent whatsoever.

Microwaving a premade meal doesn't make me a chef. Generative AI is able to make fake copies and imitations of art, but it isn't an artist. The prompters are just that, they're reheating someone else's creation and calling themselves chefs.

They are also training AI with those progress videos so eventually AI can imitate it as well. Posting/sharing any content publicly is potential fuel for AI trainers.
