I mean it in the sense that using digital technologies to produce art is not always going to be interesting. I don't mean that I will never find any digital art

I mean it in the sense that using digital technologies to produce art is not always going to be interesting. I don't mean that I will never find any digital art interesting though. Distilled to one point: DALL-E does not wholesale capture any rational definition of art reflecting actual art history.
I think DALL-E is a win-win by pushing digital art to some further extreme and forcing people who are open to art beyond the digital to try new things. Digital art had reached a point of maximum inertia before this imo.
- t_mann 4y agoDo you seriously want to go down the 'This is not art' path? That battle has been lost so many times for different forms of art that are much harder to 'get' for most people. Also, since you like to emphasize the 'digital' part of these works, don't forget we're probably not much further than one Master-level project for some mechanical engineering students from having AI-generated physical paintings.
- thejohnconway 4y agoAh, I see what you mean, as in digital creation is just another in a long line of technologies used for art creation, and at some point will just be mundane? I agree completely with that.
- xor99 4y agoYeah and it'll evolve unexpectedly but not in a way that most artists can't adapt to or develop a practice with. I just don't agree with the idea that DALL-E is art poison. That's overly simplistic and reactionary and not realistic about the diversity of form, materials, composition in artworks.
