(OC) AI 'art' and the future

[u/SylvieXX]

Could be controversial but I'm just gonna say it... I don't like AI... and for me it was never about it not looking good. There are obviously more factors to this whole thing, like about people losing jobs, about how the whole thing is just stealing, and everything like that but I'm just focusing on one fundamental aspect that I think about a lot... I just wanted to draw what I feel...! 🥲🥲 Sorry about the cringe but I actually live for cringe 💖

A picture says more than a thousand words. If an artist made a picture they put various details in them, some even subconcious, giving it hiden meanings. If an AI does it, it will just put some random things in it that weren't suposed to have any meaning.

"AI, make an image with hidden meanings that actually makes sense".

[u/ifandbut → u/MfkbNe]

Does a photographer control every pixel of the sensor? Does a painter control every movement of each bristle?

The answer is no.

How is that any different from occasional random artifact in an AI image?

[u/tyrenanig → u/ifandbut]

The difference is the intent behind it. A painter may leave a mark with purposes. AI just imitates that, “there’s usually a mark here, with this pattern” so it puts it in.

[u/dogjon → u/ifandbut]

Are you a sociopath, do you lack empathy or something? How do you not understand that art has more meaning when there was another real person behind every brush stroke, every little decision? Can you not imagine someone else putting time and effort into something and why that is more valuable than a soulless AI copying what others did before?

Because humans know that human hands don’t have three fingers. It’s those little intricacies that AIs don’t understand yet, and might (hopefully) never will.

[u/ryanvango → u/just_a_whiny_bitch]

oh boy you may be behind the times. the fingers thing has mostly been corrected for. Its getting really difficult to tell AI art from human art, and even scarier its getting really hard to tell an AI photo from a real one.

but beyond that, if your argument is that AI doesn't do the thing right that's why it sucks, then will you change your stance when AI can fool you? because I promise it will. It likely already has. will AI be better than human art when it makes 0 mistakes?
