  I’d argue it’s more like creating the menu, specifying the contents of the menu but having someone/thing else actually make the food.

    and having someone else make it.

    No, having a soulless machine make it.

    Then claiming that you made it yourself even though all you did was select a few things on a menu.

      Oh my fucking god people…I didn’t say you could claim you made something when using AI generated images. I claimed it still makes sense for some things because they hold pretty much no artistic value when made by humans already (like icons, stock images and logos)

        Way to shit on everyone who’s job it is to make those things.

        Why do you think logos and so on have no artistic value? What defines value? Because if it’s influencing people and culture, then logos definitely do.

        Corporate art sucks ass but it’s still made using choices, which ai doesn’t do.

    Your example is shit. It would be more appropriate for when you commission a piece of work from someone, where they are using their skills and choices and you’re telling them what you want and don’t want on the sandwich.

    AI doesn’t make choices when creating an image. It generates an image based off of other images and you hope that it gets something that follows some aesthetic principles that it’s lifting from other images. Just because you reroll the die doesn’t mean you’re choosing shit.

    That “menial” process when you’re making art is literally the best part. When you’re painting a sky for the background of something you don’t want that just filled in, that’s where you can experiment and maybe even add an element that you weren’t thinking of before when you started the piece. AI can’t do that for you.
