    even mediocre artists actually create art, which is something stable diffusion can’t do and will never be able to do. You completely misunderstand what art is and its purpose. It’s not just a nice looking picture or a meandering story. You understand art as a technical profession creating a product to sell, which is why you equate AI slop with art. Your earlier comment making a distinction between artists and “ordinary people” is completely wrong. The distinction between someone who’s an artist and otherwise isn’t technical proficiency or ability to make a picture. It’s a deeper skill than that, the ability to be creative, to have perspective. It’s an ability to communicate. AI can’t communicate because it doesn’t have a perspective, since it doesn’t actually know anything.

      this is what it always comes down to

      they don’t respect artists, they don’t respect artistic labour but they so desperately need and want the fruits of said labour and so the only option left is to cheat and lie

      hell, it’s evident in the last sentence of their reply - that they see ‘Artist’ as a profession that is getting ‘Obsoleted’, as if the only reason art exists in the first place is because we as a society have been too archaic, and we would jump at the chance to drop the creative process in a heartbeat

      complete and total alienation from creativity as a human experience

        it’s so bleak and I can’t sympathize with their perspective at all. It’s like the most they get out of art is to see a picture or a movie and say it looks cool. Purely superficial. They don’t like art, they like decoration. They don’t actually care about seeing a representation of another perspective. They don’t care about themes, symbols, or what an artist is trying to communicate, nor do they even want to know.

          its very evident from their other replies that their metric for ‘good’ art is ‘is it beautiful?’ and their definition of ‘beauty’, in turn, is simply ‘does looking at this release dopamine or not’

          deeply unserious person

      yet AI produces beautiful images.

      This is not any different from the invention of paint or coloured glass improving quality of art.

        yeah that’s not the point of art nor what it is. What art looks like isn’t connected to the quality of it. Go get some perspective by engaging with artists sometime. I’m out. You’re not a serious person. See ya.
