If you think art and tech are separate things, then you understand neither.
What do you think video games are made on? Painting canvases?
~Sincerely, an artist that works in IT.
Umm when did I say 'artists don't understand the tech that they need'? OTOH say something about AI generated content and you have techbros coming out of woodworks to give their hot takes while they can't even draw a stick figure.
I'll cry about not being able to use a pencil over my fancy keyboard. I wonder how many traditional artists make their own brushes and pencils.
No matter how hard you try, downloading models from civitai and typing shit into stable diffusion doesn't make you an artist
You're right, what makes me an artist is being able to express myself through my chosen medium.
Stop labeling people something that has nothing to do with this. We aren't peddling some obscure crypto. I'm no bro. It's just so weird to me people on lemmy of all places are all fearful of AI... something I never thought I would see in my lifetime. It's fucking amazing.
These are not the same thing and you know it, despite your gaslighting.
People using technology to express themselves is not the same as asking a fully automated plagiarism device to create shit by copying other shit.
It never will be.
The human input is where we go from 'reproduction' to 'art', and is why photography counts as art despite just capturing real things, because a human is behind it. Sets what's on camera. Expression.
AI "Art" is not expression and never will be. It's just tracing with extra steps.
These complainers sound like people speaking for Japanese people when they scream cultural appropriation when a white woman wears a kimono her host mother in Japan gave her.
Stop speaking for us, we have absolutely no problem with AI, our art is not threatened.
