So what's your definition of art?
For example, I personally don't think hyper realism (people spending months "painting" an exact large copy of a hi-def photo) is art, for me it's just craftsmanship, no creativity even.
AI feels the same, it's just a tool as the chisel or the paintbrush. What do you create when doing your prompts?
It can be art I guess, but I also think it usually is not at all.
AI is a tool like any other. You can't say that art made with some tool is not art just because you don't like the tool. When photography came around, there were people saying it's not a real art because it does everything for you.
A world where banana taped on a wall is art, but something you spend many hours tailoring to your vision is not, well, that's not a world I can agree with. How can we claim some random splashes are art just because there's some vision behind them and at the same time claim that AI art created with some vision is not?
Just some beautiful looking stuff made up by an AI and 5 minutes isn't the way, we'll see where artists take the tool, I imagine it will be great. In the meantime I'd like to just filter out all script kiddies doing "art" if that even is possible...
I mean there are exceptions but if you Have to explain the "art" (or no one gets it) then it's not art at all IMO, just BS.
