Ask Lemmy

Not at all. I think it's fascinating. The technology behind it is incredible and getting better every day. While I don't consider any AI-generated images to be "masterpieces" by any stretch of the imagination, they're interesting to study.

I posted a (labeled) AI-generated piece of art to a Star Trek shitposting community and a mod removed it because they didn't want AI generated images, even if labeled.

It didn't make me mad at all, I just found it interesting and kind of ironic

IMO it should be in ai communities or at least labeled as such. It’s so disheartening that ai is doing art when it should be doing the menial tasks to free us to do art

Not bothered. Just no longer impressed.

What communities are you subscribed to? Cause I don't have this problem when browsing All.

In direct opposition to most of the comments here, I relly like it. Most of what I see are really good. I say this having done some and been unable to 'prompt engineer' much to my liking. Turns out it is harder than it looks (much like traditional art)

I like it, I like content and it doesn't take much for me to scroll past stuff I don't like.

Girl Talk was just a bunch of other peoples music smashed together, but it was undeniably its own art.

As long as it's not being passed off as made by a human I don't care. Most of the AI art I see being posted is specifically to communities for posting AI art, anyway.

I don’t really get it. Reminds me of the guys who’d send each other fractal images on floppy disks in the early 90s, which they must have got something out of, but to everyone else it’s just pictures of maths.

Some of these responses either have a weird and jaded agenda or literally don't make sense. You don't like AI art because of the smudges or the weird colors? Huh? lol

I blocked ai communities wherever they showed up, it’s not that I hate it it just has no value to me, no substance. It’s like looking at one of billions of marginal steps some algorithm takes to refine itself.

No, it's too much of a spectrum/hierarchy to be so absolute about it.

Can someone explain to me what the difference is between AI art and students imitating an artist? What happens when the AI actually gains the ability to experiment "outside the box" - what we call creativity?

Nah, keep them coming. I've seen the sunset from my window hundreds of times, it's still pretty.

To me, if they are contained to communities setup for AI generated images and there is some effort to mark or identify them as AI, I don't mind them. Its when they get posted outside those spaces, especially posing as something someone made, that it gets very annoying.

I think it's not cool unless it's funny. I'm trying to think of a good philosophical reason for that. I agree most of the time I am annoyed and don't even look at them, scrolling past as if they were advertising.

It bothers me in the same way art done by children bothers me, which is to say not much, but it's usually pretty devoid of aesthetic value. Because they (AI, not children) draw on a huge variety of styles, they often also feel extremely generic, and like they don't have any style of their own.

Some of them have been kind of funny because the poster had some sort of decent comedic idea. I'm happier to see this type.

AI art is a turn off for me. Not just for how it looks, but how it disrespects the works of millions of artists and its users complete disregard to their welfare.
