The way some people defend AI generated images reminds me of the way some people defend the act of tracing other people's art without the artist's permission and uploading it while claiming they made it.
Art theft is the antithesis of awesome.
Someone stealing any physical property is likely bad for one or more reasons.
Also, you can't steal an idea or a concept. Copying digital information doesn't deprive the creator of the original. Copying isn't theft.
It is, it's playful and meaningful and awsome. It's my favourite kind of art. It's what the biggest artists do. Art works like memes. When you don't let people derive from each other, you suffocate art.
It's not 'art' ffs. It's an image. Sure, it may look nice, but it has 0 meaning, thought, or emotion behind it. This is just another scheme by the rich to milk us some more, as it promotes the idea that art is just a pretty image people pay to look at (consoooom). That's NOT what art is. Art is made by a living being, go pick up a pencil.
10 hours of jingling keys to be amazed by on YouTube dot com
If you think that images created by a generative model are amazing, you might also be interested in 10 hours of keys jingling.
Where do I get the jingling keys?
YouTube dot com
That might be interesting actually. I wonder what you would feel like after listening to 10 hours of keys jingling.
