For art to be good it needs to leave an impression on people. Can’t imagine anyone taking anything away from Generic Pretty Girl #372

It’s leaving an impression on me. What do you consider good art?

Well, you can have it with robots, cows and horses too. That’s the fun of it, it’s endlessly remixable.
I don’t think you’re going to remember that particular image in a week.
That’s just due to the lack of repetition, not due to a lack in the art. If I print it out and hang it on the wall, I am sure remembering it. In the digital realm it’s just one image out of hundreds. That’s the fun with AI art, the act of creation and consumption blur together.
It’s an infinite crap generator, which I can see why people are so enamored with it. Because people seem to want a seeming variety of generic junk almost instinctually. Just take a look at the variety of garbage available on all streaming platforms right now, the variety of garbage on YouTube, or even worse a single aisle in any grocery store: shelves full of crap that’s often the same things with different labels, substances that are utter shit on almost a molecular level but seem appealing or better than others based upon packaging.
I think your generation is the first to be totally pink for us to program for 😈

Most stuff looks pretty generic, you’re right. But there’s actually been a couple times when I’ve been baffled by the output. For this one, for example, I just gave it my username

I think magicians love when audiences are willing to both believe in magic and maintain a respect for the secrecy of their trade.
I’ll tell you what I know for sure: people from my generation are working like their lives depend on it to separate the new generations from their money using our triumphant new invention; so of course this looks like impressive art to younger people and no one else; you’ll love the AI music we sell you too! And wait till you meet all the AI characters we’ve trained for you! You can sit, jaw dropped stifling laughter to hear the next joke designed to make you cackle so hard you piss yourself, in a room full of tailored friends.
There are still tons of real things in this world: they still inspire more fruitful wonder than we do for ourselves and our contraptions.

So what exactly do you consider “impressive art”?
The money argument is frankly a bit pointless at the moment, since nobody has figured out how to make money with AI art. Any new AI tool is replicated by another company within months. The AI art itself is essentially worthless, since everybody can just generate it by themselves for free. A lot of the tools are also Open Source and can run on your own PC locally.
Maybe one day we’ll have some AI-TikTok with an endless stream of user-targeted AI content and ads in between, but that doesn’t exist yet. For the time being, AI is just costing companies money.

That takes a steaming hot dump on what the vast majority of people can do.
It’s why people are scared. They should be.

I’d argue that it is a steaming hot dump of deviant art quality junk, but to each their own.
interceder270@lemmy.world 7 months ago
I’d argue people like you are going to hold it under much more scrutiny knowing it’s made by AI instead of humans.
I’d also argue you will do this without admitting it.

HAHA that’s crazy you think that that is so great.
I was like this in the 90s with MDs.
You probably think AI porn is “stunning” 🤣

‘So great’ would be inaccurate.
I said it “takes a steaming hot dump on what the vast majority of people can do.”
