@Don't ₿elieve the Hype 🦊 AI art isn’t art at its core, computer generated garbage, and usually just stolen image mashups. It’s one thing to use it for silly memes and the like, but the majority of artists, along with myself, hate it. @Karnage l like your stance on keeping it out. Clean, real art made by actual humans.
For now, it is a tool. When the question of consciousness becomes relevant, my position may change.
It’s a tool but “art” created by it is not art. Art comes from the soul and that is something a robot can never have regardless of how complex its “thought” process becomes. Imo, AI will never have true consciousness as they will always be a program trained to think in one way or another, and never really a human brain. Even if it can have “unique” thoughts it’s because someone told it to be able to do so, which is not consciousness.
