Comment on People liked AI art – when they thought it was made by humans

a lot of people have minds with or without your ability to imagine other perspectives

True but irrelevant as the sudden general hatred for generative art truly is the definition of a knee jerk reaction.

for some, i suppose… but by and large, these individuals do have actual reasons…
you can pretend like everyone that hates it is just following a trend, but it’s not useful and just a strawman.
it may seem like a “sudden general hatred” but generative images are relatively only suddenly good… so any reaction would be likewise sudden.
personally, i’m on both sides. i’ve seen some cool stuff, and see it as a great tool for artists to build off of, and for enabling non-artists to create cool pictures for whatever reason…
however, the fact that the data set is mostly copyrighted works and the artists who actually trained the ai aren’t being compensated… and never gave permission…
as well as a shit load of poseur artists pretending like they made something, or pretending like tweaking prompts makes them an artist…
there’s a whole thing in studying art with understanding the background of the artist… the context and environment, and the meaning of the work…
there is no perspective in ai generated images… (until AGI, i suppose)
it might be the same to the average person, but that doesn’t really matter. the average person wouldn’t appreciate most contemporary artwork…

As someone been in the field a long time before tha AI boom, just trust me. It’s knee jerk. They have no good reason to hate generative art, even the idiotic way they fed copyrighted work into some models does not explain in the least why anyone should hate an entire way of making art

i pretty explained it so, ok…
