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.

Again, ASSISTED ≠ CREATED. I don’t know how this is difficult for you.

Assisted requires foreknowledge of skill/talent. Like a guitarist using an effect pedal to enhance his sound.

Created leans entirely on the hardware/software condo the heavy lifting.

It take ZERO skill to type a sentence into a computer to generate an image. Period. And of argument. I’m sorry this others you; but this is how I see it.

I said in my original post that just typing a prompt isn't an example of skill. I stated that there are people who use both AI and non-AI tools in complex workflows that include a ton of manual work, and in those cases it's disingenuous to write off the process as not being creative.

I'm not sure exactly what you're arguing against, but it isn't the position I took. Seems like a reading comprehension issue.

My point is that AI generated pictures aren’t art. Period.

I’m not arguing nuance. My opinion is across the board- no nuance. No argument… it’s not art.

Would you call a person that creates paintings by cutting images from magazines an artist?

What if the person cuts the images from AI generated content?
