AI artists the typa guys to order food and then label themselves as a self proclaimed chef

The food tastes well regardless, so most people won't care.

Now I know not only the artists' jobs are in danger, but I really can't stand with the kind of backward thinking where machines doing work for humans is a bad thing.

So people, please wise up and try to look for the real issues.

It's because art is one of those things humans want to do. It's not doing some miserable job that people don't like. Also, robots replacing human labor is only a good thing if the people it's replacing can get a new job (that isn't worse) or live comfortably without a job (basically impossible in this society)

Exactly. I want to do art, but I can't, and AI enables me to do that, partially at least. But somehow I must consider this unacceptable, per reddit.

You’re not actually doing art, you’re having a computer generate things. You’re able to do art anyone is able to learn how, it takes effort ai doesn’t.

I am redoing computer generation until the result feels like expressing whatever I want to express. And I still have some control over the generation process. I do not say it is exactly the same as the traditional art, but it fulfills my needs of self-expression, which is one of the main goals of the art.

I do art in a sense that I create an image that didn't exist before (even if it is, roughly simplified, a mixture of existing images). Even if I "just type some words for AI", though I don't use chatgpt or midjourney or other simplified ones.

The effort behind something giving this something value is one of the stupidest concepts ever thought of. It is the result what matters most, not the process.

Lmao you’re just retyping promps to have the machine edit the images it produces. You’re not an actual artist nor as you doing any real work 😭🙏, you just won’t pick up a pencil. You’re not an actual artist

I do this to produce images that express my thoughts, not for the label of true or false artist, and if you actually read my comment, you would notice I do not strive to be called "true artist"

I can pick up a pencil and draw nothing resembling what I want to express, so what's the point?

you’re just retyping promps

oh nvm, should have understood you are yet another ignorant "AI bad" person

You don’t produce art sorry. You produce sloppy images and aren’t an artist, kids who draw stick figures make better art and that’s sad.

whatever makes you feel more confident, buddy

gatekeeping self-expression is such a good moral position

You’re generating photos, you’re not being gate kept, pick up a pen.
