Setting aside the usual arguments on the anti- and pro-AI art debate and the nature of creativity itself, perhaps the negative reaction that the Redditor encountered is part of a sea change in opinion among many people that think corporate AI platforms are exploitive and extractive in nature because their datasets rely on copyrighted material without the original artists’ permission. And that’s without getting into AI’s negative drag on the environment.
Eh the haters will be the minority eventually.
Had someone claim I ripped off another artists work. When I went to look at the artist it wasn’t even similar.
People are just outraged and looking for any excuses, it’ll simmer down in a year or two.
I’m having fun making it and seeing what others come up with, that’s all that matters to me in the end.
Going to be honest with you, your art is fine.
Just fine.
Not great though. Not exceptional. Not really new or exciting.
Just what anyone with a weak prompt and an llm can do.
It’s ok.
I’m glad you are enjoying making it.
I never said it was great.
And what art is new or exciting these days? Everything is derivative of everything else.
I take it you spend time going to galleries or the theatre? That you engage with art at the source…
Because if you said something as fucking stupid as “and what art is exciting these days” whilst only consuming media through a screen, that’d make you look and sound really daft.
