    you’re talking about something else entirely. AI art isn’t art. well it isn’t intelligent either but that’s what you get with marketing, 2 of the 3 words are a lie, big surprise. but what you’re talking about is generative technology possibly helping speed up some processes (like removing an object, or recoloring or whatever). those are tools.

    telling some RNG to “paint a ship in a storm” and thinking whatever comes out the other end is art is, yes, inhuman. that isn’t art the same way the dirt and rust that builds up on a surface isn’t art. it’s random gunk. it has no artistic merit.

      You realize ready-mades like Marcel Duchamp’s fountain are considered art as well? Random gunk to you, art to others. What makes you the authority on what is and isn’t art?

        the fountain is not random gunk, wth are you talking about? it’s not “ready-made” lol; it’s not like we consider all urinals art, and Duchamp just took one of them and said here you go. no, his act of taking it and turning it into a piece of art is what makes it art. again, context, origin and intent. it couldn’t be further from what “AI art” is.

          AI art is not lacking in any of those, context, origin and intent are all related to art. AI art generators were created by humans with the intent to create art and are displayed in the context of art or at the very least are used with such intent. Everything about it is art. Even the randomness is far from uncommon in art, for example musique concrète has randomness built in to many of it’s pieces, those are basically RNG-mechanisms that create the music.
