AI art is, by very definition, average.
It's the best fit line. It's the most common. The mean or the median.
The best art is exceptional.
Wow this really succinctly describes what I feel whenever I see AI art. It's just an overwhelming feeling of indifference.
Average AI art is average. Exceptional AI art is exceptional.
People who use AI as the tool it is, rather than just feeding it a single prompt and taking a few good results, can make art just like any other artist using a tool. Some of that art is exceptional. Most of it is average. Just like any other tool.
The best AI art is often the result of multiple passes with inpainting and refining, and touchups in other tools. But that takes time, effort, and skill. Just like any other tool.
LMFAO "uhm ackshually guys AI art takes skill just like human art"
yeah bud, spending 30 minutes typing sentences into the artist crushing machine is grueling work
That's not how most people using it creatively are doing it though, have you seen the actual workflows people use? Inpainting and stuff, it can be just as involved as collage or other artforms.
For real, most of the people in this thread have no idea how any of these tools work.
Wow, it's like I'm back on reddit.
Any example of exceptional AI art?
Art is subjective. What I find impactful or meaningful may not be what you find impactful or meaningful. I’ll just say I’ve seen exceptional AI art, but it’s rare.
I can’t remember the specifics, but I do recall there was a work that won some art contest and then had its win revoked because AI generation was used in its creation. I recall really liking that piece.
Edit: I find it remarkable that anyone would downvote what I said in this post. The other I get, you all have your notions and aren’t going to change your minds, that’s fine, I get it. But nothing I said in this post was controversial.
I fully agree with you. However, there's no point bringing it up here in this echo chamber of luddites. They're deathly afraid of ai (for no real reason), and it really shows.
I honestly don't give a fuck whether you take me seriously or not. As a luddite and technophobe, your opinion means less than nothing to me.
Doesn't change the fact that you're afraid of AI though. It is gonna change things, and just because you're afraid of it isn't going to stop it. I suggest you learn to adapt.
Not really. Were you?
Nah this is just an epidemic of lazy people who want the credit of being called an artist without putting in any of the work.
Nah its an epidemic of cowards who are afraid of things they don't understand. Here's some advice. Educate yourself, and maybe try to understand things before making stupid statements.
lol imagine being scared of autocomplete. What a time to be alive.
