Redditors Vent and Complain When People Mock Their "AI Art"
(futurism.com)
Setting aside the usual arguments on the anti- and pro-AI art debate and the nature of creativity itself, perhaps the negative reaction that the Redditor encountered is part of a sea change in opinion among many people that think corporate AI platforms are exploitive and extractive in nature because their datasets rely on copyrighted material without the original artists' permission. And that's without getting into AI's negative drag on the environment.
This was the craziest quote to me:
WHAT.
Just…FUCKIN WHAT.
These people just want to be able to sell their AI art alongside other artists, because they "spent 6 hours to get only 5 images" is obviously on par with someone who has spent years honing their skills and craft the create art on a canvas or other blank medium.
Some AI art is pretty interesting, but let's not equate it being the same as someone with actual creative talent.
Yeah like also, if you're doing art for validation -- you're not doing art.
Is everyone who posts anything online just looking for validation?
Some of them are also looking for money.
This is maybe the must frustrating argument I've seen, there are TONS of artists with disabilities work within their limitations to create art that is utterly unique and representative of their physical and mental struggles and triumphs.
