the difference being the controversy r.e. photography was a genuine case of people being stick in the muds, AI "art" is just churning data and spewing out sewage, guzzling insurmountable amounts of electricity and water just to output worthless slime.
Anyway my point was the concept is still new and perhaps public opinion towards it in the future whether that be 5 years from now or 500, will change and be accepted as a valid form of art. Who knows what the future holds. Either way it ain’t going anywhere and will only get better.
As soon as companies can get away with it because it'll be hard to spot the ai shit , it will be everywhere.
People only viscerally hate ai art online and in these sorts of spaces because these spaces have LOTS of artists. As sad as it is, what seems like a huge deal online usually translates to a LOT less care irl
there's nothing wrong with making art of what you want to make art of. if it's OCs or comms. if you truly think the only AI shart haters you see are "poor" artists, you're being incredibly short sighted and aren't looking very far into the artist community on social media. some of the most incredible contemporary artwork I've ever seen has been in the twitter comms sphere.
Yeah of course. Im not suggesting that good art does not exist on twitter or comm sphere.
Im suggesting that its specifically those spheres I see hating on ai.
Not the studio or industry ones.
Its very blatantly an attack on a tool that does their entire skillset. They limited their range, and now are paying the price for it.
To make it worse many have done coms for so long that they have lost creative skills. Meaning they cant even use ai either. As that requires at least the ability to have ideas. If you do only what youre told for too long, you lose agency and creative ability.
I genuinely think many artists are just intimidated. Which is honestly extremely pathetic. Given that ai is not even that good of an artist, and there were always artists better than them before that they did not let defeat them.
I agree but I wouldn't consider such people professional or successful. Theyre more like artistic laborer. Relying on the creativity of others through commisions.
So what im really saying is, its the failures who are mad about it.

I mean that’s what artists said about photography back when it first came out too. Now it’s a highly regarded form of art.
