To be honest, i think it's better to be at this hour discussing about the meaning of art instead of fapping.

@Reluctant_Weeb @berkberkman @siinclaiir @NEETzsche @book well, it's my opinion in the end, so of course t's subjective, but i think we oughta start thinking on a more proper and adequate definition to it, giving the state of the matter at hand as of now.

@berkberkman @Reluctant_Weeb @siinclaiir @NEETzsche @book That's why i want artists to flesh out their art their craft and intentions, because as things are now, people who does AI stuff cannot provide background to their pieces, just the end result.

If someone who does not provide any background (to to their pieces or to their skill) starts putting out all of these things in three months, out of the blue, it's very easy to explose it as a fraud if artists start regularly posting stuff like timelapses, sketches and stuff like that.

@berkberkman @Reluctant_Weeb @siinclaiir @NEETzsche @book what if the end result of the expression of crazyness and countless hours of sleep deprivation is a butt

@Reluctant_Weeb @berkberkman @siinclaiir @NEETzsche @book

The disconnect we're having is because of the notion that we should call anything art, even if it's something that comes from the depths of the chaos, just because WE as spectator find meaning on it even if it doesn't have it in the first place.

To me, art is the expression not only of the human as a sentient being, but also as the expression of the countless hours spent in trying to improve a skill and ALSO the inherent meaning that the author has for a certain piece. That's why even while some animals can be trained to paint, i hardly would call those pieces art, but a mere novelty.

If a certain piece does not have these kind of elements then to me it should not be called art, because we end in the danger of calling a banana straped to the wall a piece of art, or a toilet, or an intrincate drawing of a photorealistic eye copied from a photo by someone using a pencil which has a lot of skill but practically no inherent creative intention.

And so, to me any image generated using AI tools cannot be called art, simply because it lacks humane intervention AND lacks skill and craft, even if the person writing the prompt has meaning behind it.And because it cannot be called art, it should not be lumped with the rest of the pieces that do have it.

Sorry for the botched writing, i am sleepy and it's cold ;_;

@berkberkman @Reluctant_Weeb @siinclaiir @NEETzsche @book Yeah i hope the AI puts all the calarts crowd out of business, ironically speaking(?)

What i think is that AI is not gonna go away anythime soon, and short of that, AI is gonna be more present in everyday life as time goes on.

What i advocate in the case of AI generated images are:

Firstly that people realize that these tools can be ethically used and far from their use being discouraged, people and artists should be educated about it. Since the technology is new, you have to tell people that just because you have a gun you shouldn't be around shooting people because you like it.

I advocate for places where this content can be posted without making noise to the places where artists post theirs tuff, so to not make their craft less relevant, moreover, in places that were from the start dedicated to them.

I want to artists to flesh out more their art because i want to people also to appreciate the art because of all the dimensions that come with it, and not beacuse is something aesthtically pleasing (or not pleasing but provocative), but because there's actual craft and skill behind them.

@NEETzsche @Reluctant_Weeb @siinclaiir @book

Yeah the technology is cool i've been saying it on another posts, to me is no short of a miracle and i still have problems wraping my head about how it works, i'm not at all against the technologic side of things.

The problem is when some people that only care about the final result of the thing pretend that typing some words in a text box is as valid as someone who spent years practicing and enhanching their craft, and now these people are overruning the spaces that always were reserved for artists.

I think most artists wouldn't have a problem with it if there were some kind of site that would concentrate this kind of content and give it the proper space to not make real artists and their fans lose importance amid mass produced stuff.
