one thing that continues to plague my thoughts about AI “art” is how quickly non-artists accept it as some form of expression. It’s a reflection of the societal norm that art is wholly unnecessary unless created for maximum profit gain, yet techbros FLOCK to the idea of a computer generating an entirely “new” image, a Frankenstein mimicry pulled from pre-existing works uploaded to the internet by actual people, based off of a few key words they feed into the program. They call it revolutionary. They call it accessible. They call it groundbreaking. Art has always been accessible. Everyone has had the proper tools to become an artist since birth, no matter what background one might have come from. Non-artists crave a sense of accomplishment, of creating something big, of being the cause of something downright spectacular. But art is hard. No one has the time to pour into an activity and build upon a skillset that takes years to even get a handle on. Art takes a certain amount of discipline, and people don’t like that. The fruits of their creative labor cannot be seen as quickly as they want, and in an industry that pushes the pursuit of greater profit with the least amount of time and effort put in, art just cant catch up.
AI “art” will not satisfy you. It will not make you look smart. It is not groundbreaking. That hole in your chest that craves that creative outlet, that needs that gratification–it will never be filled with AI. Those images your machine is vomiting will never amount to anything and you will never be an artist. Because being an artist requires discipline, passion, and most of all: emotional connection. Being an artist requires you putting a part of yourself into your craft, and doing it for the purpose of passion and not monetary gain. Being an artist requires work, and loving that work. AI cannot, and will never produce art
