“AI art has nothing to tell me about people” Good thread on the dance between the artist and the viewer I don’t agree with all, but art for me is about appreciating choices. The more choices the computer makes, the less I can appreciate the human. https://x.com/kenthecowboy_/status/1876164708799230013?s=46

My feelings on it are complicated. 😆 I think AI art does tell you something about people. It pulls from a collective of experiences and its guided by a user for whom the input and results resonated. And the tool can be used to produce art...not just through iterations of prompts. I suspect that when photography first arrived on the scene, artists also said "it tells me nothing about the person" and "it involves no creativity". However, context, lighting, placement, emotion...all of that conveys something. And the counter to that - I worry that AI art can take away a valuable part of the creative process, rendering it unnecessary. It can arrive at a beautiful, but unintended conclusion that the creative may have never arrived at...and I can't help but feel sadness at the loss of that process. Like I said, my feelings on it are a bit of a jumbled mess. 😆

I will try to find, but I had a cast to this effect like a year ago. I do believe AI content CAN be art and used it myself to try to make art too Per usual, it's all a matter of degrees but (imo unfortunately) we skip intent as a core piece good read on it: https://daily.jstor.org/when-photography-was-not-art/
