why is there even a debate that ai “art” is better? If you want ai to generate you an image of mickey mouse for an example, ai has to analise an image of mickey mouse and then spit it out. but before any of that ever happens somebody has to make that image first, and how do they do that? BY DRAWING IT!!! their arguement that “ai art is better” makes just as much sense as trump’s fee on wildfire smoke from canada (which it doesnt)
I saw a video of an “AI-artist” saying his art was better because it was faster to generate and didn’t take years to learn how to make. His criteria was that the speed and how well the prompt was made is the only arbiter of what is good or not, the actual creation of the art by a human artist, in his argument, was just a waste of time.
That’s not creating, that’s consuming.
