    ITT: “you are not allowed to like things I don’t like”

    However you feel about how the models are trained, telling people they’re not allowed to like the results is going to be a losing argument. People like what they like, and you can argue with them but you won’t stop it 🤷

    If it’s right to ridicule people for buying shein clothes, supporting sexist influencers or spending money on gacha games, then it’s also OK to ridicule them for enjoying AI art. It is correct to be against behaviors that hurt society even if they don’t have an immediate, direct effect on you. You deserve what you tolerate.

    It helps that currently it’s overwhelmingly dogshit, the linked video illustrating that quite well, with it being a random collection of glitched out, disconnected images with no soul. And don’t get me started on the Suno slop flooding youtube…

    Disliking AI art work just because someone used AI is like disliking paintings because someone used a paintbrush.

    AI is merely a tool.

      Disliking AI is like disliking an artist who learnt someone else’s signature artstyle by copying their work and then making something new in the same style

      Except its not. GenAI is not comparable to the paintbrush, as a paintbrush doesn’t get trained by millions of existing artpieces and tries to obey the prompt by the user to create a fitting art-remix.

        Except it is, because the prompt doesn’t write itself. The art is writing the “perfect prompt” for getting the desired result.

          so the perfect prompt is the art, not the “AI Art” then? Then why do the “Ai Artists” not post those perfect prompts but the resulting “AI Art”?

            For the same reason painters display their canvases and not their brushes.

    Absolutely. It’s not art, no talent or skill involved, no thought on shading or composition, no thoughts on colour balance or what the feeling you are trying to convey is.

    All Ai is, is a gambling machine. It spits out random shit stolen from other artists and trying to counterfeit human expression.
