Extremely dumb take- - Art is discovered, not created. - ALL art is a derivative work. - If not derivative of other art, it's derivative of the human experience, which we all have a right to. Dumb dumb dumb. AI makes us 10x more productive. Adapt or suffer the consequences. https://media.gleasonator.com/77898fa1abe44f8ba455cf82ad69cda2cdb89e4e25c64123d10f5dff93e09049.jpg

I was talking with someone today about how almost all artists online are extremely rude and lazy and charge way more than they’re worth and we decided AI art was based and that the commission artists should starve to death.

Wrong. Its good because it filters out worthless people who cant do anything worthy, and can be replaced by a good videocard. And all of these people mocked normal workers when they lost their jobs, because "your work is obsolete, learn to code".

AI art isn't real art and can never be, but there's zero reason to get upset over a random guy generating pictures for fun. Sad reality is that art isn't and never was a viable job as it is and this changes very little. People using AI to generate memes, cursed pictures, shitty porn, etc never would've paid for art either. Unfortunately this guy is too stupid to be outraged over something that matters

Idk about art is discovered, anything created can be considered an "art" I do agree to the rest of the points. Also that person is a moron, and is butt hurt that their art or their favorite person has competition. Remember when video games was not considered "real" art?

Here's my problem with the idea that art is created versus discovered: It's egotistical. They think they are so special that only THEY can come up with "real" art. Anything that can be created has always had the capacity to exist, it's simply a matter of uncovering it. Humans are products of the universe. To look outside is to look into ourselves, and vice-versa. Art is the universe expressing itself through us. It's not owned by anyone.

I feel like that's all a matter of perspective. I think the problem you have is people (particularly elitists) saying what is art is. Anyone can create art. And it's not necessarily all about sculpting and canvases either. Engineering, programing, and documentation, cooking can be an art. All of which created by the folks that work in that field. I'd argue that art discovery will be more of a result of ego. Who are those that discover it? Is it not considered art if an art Broker considers as not? It becomes very tribalistic, and subjective. Art is created and can be created by anyone or anything. It doesn't mean it isn't free of criticism 🤣

> AI makes us 10x more productive. Adapt or suffer the consequences. How do we trust AI? I've seen examples of convincingly wrong answers or outputs, and you would only know they are wrong if you know a lot about the topic. When leveraged for something already complex, like coding or chemistry or medicine, how do you avoid spending all your time validating the output? Especially when AI becomes layers upon layers of AI

"If you didn't already know, AI art is shunned in the art world." So are most talented artists. The art world is full of narcissistic fart-huffing posers who giggle to themselves about how they can put dog shit on a canvas and sell it to the public. I welcome our robot overlords.
