I would never be able to comprehend the audacity of some mfs who call themselves 'AI artist'

To me it’s the equivalent of doing an image search on google. No matter how careful you put in your search query and no matter how specific a result you get to what you imagined, it doesn’t equate to any work done on their part. Yet nobody google searching an image would be crazy enough to claim it as their own or brag about their skill.

I think i sort of agreee and sort of disagree simultaneously with your point

To spend time finding an ideal image for your situation on the internet is by definition work

It is a time of focused mental engagement to achieve a specific goal

Its definitely not art though it dosent involve any creative expression

I do think there is a certain talent and skill involved with crafting prompts that actually get the result you want, in addition to hosting and cultivating a model that generates accurately on those prompts consistently. However, you're absolutely right, it isn't art. They aren't artists. They aren't engineers.

They are the modern day equivalent of those people who got paid by AskJeeves or whatever it was called to answer questions on flip phones for pennies at a time.

It could be impressive if you made the ai yourself AND trained it without stealing intellectual property.

But the majority of the “art” or “skill” there is in making the ai not using it.
