Fuck that. I'll prove you wrong right now.

I want you to paint me picture of a cow in a field.
Did I do that,?

Nope. I commissioned you to.

Now if you the commissioned guy used a. I to make the item , how much credit should you get? None. .. describing what you want to a machine is a child's play game.

Humans adults create. Machines mimic.

Humans who think a. I is art are liars and con men afraid of being caught.

What you are describing has nothing to do with the tool. It’s dishonesty which is different.

The idea is that instead of commissioning the cow on the field, you go to the AI and ask it for that and it gives you a cow in the field. If you claim you made it, you are lying but that would be true even if you paid an artist and then claimed the same.

So with AI made art you’ll say “this art was made by an Ai” and no one will be confused as to who takes the credit, because it belongs to the algorithm.

Have you ever made art in your life? Because a big part of art is mimicking. Like 98% of it is mimicking. I draw, write and have dabbled in making music and playing instruments. You can’t learn these skills without mimicking. And most artists don’t ever do anything truly original, that’s a rarity and even when it happens you can trace the influences to other artists if you know how to look.

You could argue that AI has not developed its own style yet but that’s bullshit too imo because everyone knows the default AI art style when they see it, so that means that AI has a distinctive style. Is it unique? Maybe not, but neither is the art style of most artists or writers or even musicians.

Nope. Dishonesty is what is happening when I One conflates fine tuning an a. I prompt with art.

A.i is not art.

It's not. At all. It's tracing. Fine as a learning tool. Not art.
