yeah honestly I don’t really care much for AI art and I think the vast majority of it looks kind of creepy in the uncanny valley sense but at least I have the self-awareness to recognize that it is a personal preference. These anti-ai bros seem to have no distinction between “I don’t like <thing>” and “<thing> is unethical” on top of being just generally insufferable pricks so I try to avoid them as much as possible.
<thing> is unethical because it is an anti-social technology.
I was fine with cleverbot 10 or 15 years ago, but that was when the human mimicry was cute and funny, and didn’t threaten to kill all human-to-human contact online by smothering it to death.
Such as LLMs.
You don’t think there’s any thought put into AI art by the creators?
Art is art, it doesn’t matter what tool or medium was used, what matters is it reflects the artists intention or vision.
I think it is vanishingly small, if present at all. Like watching somebody artistically pick which youtube video to watch while eating.
Well, is it really your vision or intention if it pulled from the efforts and thoughts of a million others to generate your picture?
Every art is pulled from the efforts and thoughts of million others.
Star Wars is pulled from Dune, which on itself was based upon Middle Eastern History and Religions.
Everything is build on the shoulders of giants.
Ideas pulled only from the efforts and thoughts of a million others is typically called plagiarism.
Based. Nothing triggers redditors and chuds alike than recognizing the value in all art.

^ This matches my intentions and vision completely, so it’s mine now.

I am one of those people.
