I don’t consider AI images art, so I use them instead of Photoshop
I would posit many of the edits people do with Photoshop ARE art; unlike AI slop.
It was much better when everyone bought the same photo of the Eiffel tower from IKEA for the last 30 years. Artists were super in demand and lived lavish lifestyles before AI. There’s centuries of literature which talks about how amazing the life of artists was, but now those damned computers and their capitalist owners have doomed artistic wealth and spirit forever.
What is this even saying? Art didn’t pay well before AI so now we should pay them even less? What even is that logic?
Maybe it’s a weird take on the argument saying AI somehow “democratized” art.
So now instead of everyone having the same generic art from IKEA, people can instead hang some
terribleunique slop on their walls you better not look at too closely.
You can’t say no to generative ai art because it’s not art 😾
Be generous & call it flattery.
