I have no problem with people selling AI art, it's just.... Tell people that's what you're doing.
Finding cool images and printing them off to sell to people is a thing people do. Print services have been selling the same thing, more or less. They're printing the images and that's worth something.
But don't lie to me about it. Be upfront about what's going on, and let the buyer decide. Also, be aware of your surroundings. Don't go to an art expo and try to sell AI slop. That's just disrespectful. Maybe do it on a street corner or something idk. Set up a kiosk at the mall.
Context matters.
I mean, I wouldn't pay for a print of AI slop, but I imagine there are people who see cool pictures and just want to pick them up... That's not me, but I'm sure that's someone.
and sell at the appropriate TEMU pricing.
Eh. They can try selling at whatever price they want. As long as they disclose its AI art then people should be able to make the evaluation for themselves. I'm not convinced selling at lower prices makes things any better. If anything that might backfire and people expect real artists to compete with the ai low prices.
They can generate thousands of slop in hours. So <$1 is fair.
Whatever the market will bear.... I think is the phrase.
So is " a sucker is born every minute". Bored Ape Yacht Club is valued at $404M.
If someone is willing to pay that....
