01: A girl labeled ‘Artists’ is holding a drawing tablet and pen under her arm. She is wearing round glasses and a blue sweatshirt. She has messy dark-brown hair and a brown skin-tone. She says “We don’t really wanna MAKE A.I. art.”

02: A guy labeled ‘Art Enjoyers’ holds his hand out while speaking. She is wearing a purple and yellow hawaiian shirt with a floral pattern over a white t-shirt, and has red hair and a light skin-tone. He says “We don’t really wanna SEE A.I. art.”

03: Behind them both, there is a cute girl in a business suit with a pink tie. She is blushing a bit and has pink eyeshadow, and looks upset. Her messy shoulder-length hair is parted in the middle, and held by two hairclips: one that looks like a red arrow pointing down, and one that looks like a green arrow pointing up. She says “Um … I-Isn’t there someone you forgot to ask?” She is labeled ‘Shareholders’.

04: She puffs up her cheeks and pouts, a tear is on the verge of falling from one of her eyes. ‘Artist Enjoyers’ Guy is now in front of her yelling “AH!! SHAREHOLDERS-CHAN!!” while ‘Artists’ Girl is in front of her yelling “WE’RE SORRY WE HURT YOU!!!”

    Fuck Andy Warhol and Damien Hurst, I would definitely say the only kind of artists they were is con-artists. They ripped off talent and took credit for what others did. Fuck them.

      Ok. Your opinion is entirely consistent with hating “AI artists”. But it does fall in the “That’s not art” argument that has been continual throughout time.

        There is no such thing as an AI artist. Point blank.

        The art was art, in regards to those two fucks, it just wasn’t their art. They were con men putting their names on the work of others. AI “art”, however, simply is not art, it’s not even AI, it’s just theft processed through algorithms.

        If you want to make art then you have to actually make something. LLMs and dispersion models are just plagiarism and procedural generation, you are literally not creating a fucking thing with it, you’re just using software.

                    Yeah, it’s bullshit. Someone put effort and thought into a collage, it’s a personal expression. Collage is also a specific style which people can achieve by pqtchworking their own works together as well, which gives it multiple levels of expression and depth.

                    Generative AI is literally just algorithmic theft, and i would argue is nothing at all like a collage because you actually have to make and actively think to create a collage AI is not art and it is nothing at all like a collage, it’s a joke how far you fucks reach to excuse this bullshit. You are not an artist, LLMs and dispersion models do mot produce art. Fuck off with this.
