Why This Award-Winning Piece of AI Art Can’t Be Copyrighted::Matthew Allen’s AI art won first prize at the Colorado State Fair. But the US government has ruled it can’t be copyrighted because it’s too much “machine” and not enough “human.”

They are quite capable of producing similar works without digital tools at all.

I think this is probably true for some digital artists, but certainly not all.

The closest analog would be an art director for a college project. That is what an AI artist does.

That's a fair point, but I would counter that being an art director is not a job that most people could do. It may require less technical skill (like AI art), but it still requires a significant body of knowledge and highly developed artistic sensibilities.

I get your point that it's demeaning to compare the training and skills of a digital artist to an AI artist, but I wish it didn't come with the implication that any idiot could create good AI art.

Also I was going to correct your spelling of analogue, but it turns out the slang version has become official, at least for American English. I would still recommend using analog when you're talking about electronics, and analogue when you're talking about something that is analogous, because I think it makes you sound more smarter 😅

Brilliant. I don't give a damn what you'd recommend, you're a pedant who's clearly out of their depth.

What are analog tools? Strictly speaking, these are tools that don't use electricity. They don't require user manuals, and are easy to use.

Like pencils and brushes you dolt.

Any idiot can create AI art. That's the whole point. I have yet to see anything good or interesting come out of it because you're right, not every idiot can be an art director. AI just let's them think they're doing any of the work and "good" is subjective.

Speaking as an art director, and a digital artist who actually knows what they're talking about: it is true for all working artists. Your concept only holds true for kids dabbling in technology with no background in art. They might make digital art, but they are not digital artists.

Haha. It seems like you're very insecure about your profession and you're choosing to lash out instead of examining your own feelings more honestly. Sorry to burst your bubble, don't shoot the messenger 🫣

You also don't seem to understand what I was saying.

That's correct, that is the proper usage.

The closest analog would be an art director for a collage project.

Here, you're using the word to mean something completely different. Hence why it is preferable to use analogue

No, I use the world to live on. Your entire argument is now invalid, oh shit.

I used the word analog because we're still talking about an electronic tool vs not electronic set of things.
