Art is the conscious use of imagination to create something with the intention of it to be appreciated, experienced, and/or evoke an emotion in the observer. It requires one or two way communication between the creator and the person experiencing it.
AI generated images aren’t art because there is no conscious creator who intends to create an experience for the viewer. If a future AI is conscious and self aware enough to have a will of its own, and will use it’s own creativity to create something to be experienced or appreciated by the viewer, we would have AI art, but until then these aren’t art.
Also, the banana taped to a wall or a fruit in a cage is art, though it doesn’t mean it’s good or not. Art that sucks is still art.
I can go to an online artist and commission a piece of art, but it doesn’t make me the creator, and similarly, if I prompt an AI to generate the image, it doesn’t make me the creator of the image.
You misunderstood me, of course digital art is art when created by an artist, but if I pay an artist to make something I want, it doesn’t make me the creator.
If I prompt an AI, it doesn’t make me the creator either.
I do consider photographers as artist, because there is an intentional creative process and the creation of the image; there’s a great deal of skill and artfulness to photography. When a photographer sees something they want to photograph, they decide the position, the blur, the composition, the focus… All of that is intentionally done to direct the attention of the viewer to the subject(s) the artists wants, perhaps in a specific order. It requires an artistic process to create art.
What I don’t consider as art is when a security camera catches footage, this isn’t art, it’s an image that was created without a creative intent behind its creator, just like AI generated images have no artistic intent behind them.
Prompting an AI to generate an image doesn’t make someone an artist just like if I were to hire an artist to draw something for me doesn’t make me an artist. Of course, if I hired an artist to draw something, the result is still art as it was created with an artistic process and intent, whereas AI lacks that therefore there is no art.
In the future, should a fully sentient and conscious AI exist, I would be able to acknowledge them as artists if they follow the same artistic intent when creating an image.
I’m open to the idea that should a sentient AI be made in the future, with complex emotions and desires, then that AI could create art. As it is right now, it is completely artless.
AI generated images are not art though. Image =/= art.
Define art? I once saw a piece of fruit in a cage that was supposedly art. All seems like bullshit to me.
It’s not art if it’s not handmade by a human
/s
Been thinking about it quite a bit
I’ve come to the conclusion that to me, art is a play on your senses.
A painting plays with your sight
Music plays with your hearing
Food plays with your taste
Dance plays with your sense of balance
Poems plays with your mind

Is the prompt used not that then?
Seems the process of creating the correct prompt fits your definition.
So the ai is more like the sculpting tools or paint right?

Digital art is a thing. Just because something takes text input and not a mouse doesn’t change the fact you are using a tool to create art.

We’ll have to agree to disagree because I think prompt crafting is a skill itself.
So do you not consider photographers as artists? They don’t create the image itself either.

I bet you a urinal that you’re wrong.
I’ve seen stable diffusion images better than most art.
🤮
Damn, getting out-done by a thinking rock really hits you hard huh?
People placing no value on human experiences and emotions makes me disgusted, if that’s what you mean
They’re absolutely art. The fact that we’re arguing over it at all is proof enough of it. It’s a new medium.
Absolutely agree. No human made, not art.
