Actually, truthfully, AI is merely a complex tool. Any “art” created by an AI with no human interaction is pure rubbish. It is the humans operating the AI that knowingly discard the rubbish, and after significant effort entailing a lot of trials and random experimentation they manage to get something their human mind comprehends is integrated with the goal they have in their imagination. It is the human curating and editing the AIs generations that produces the “art” and not the software. The software is merely a sophisticated idiot savant, and I significantly stress the idiot part because they are innately capable of zero art themselves.
- fleddr 4y agoSo you're just going to skip over the fact that you don't even need to know how to draw/paint and what large manual effort that used to be?
- throwaway1851 4y agoI don’t think that fact has been established. From what I’ve observed with Midjourney and Dall-E, the defects in the output of these models are more artistically significant than just mangled faces and missing details. The models don’t understand the styles they are aping, and they don’t understand the elements of visual art in a way that allows them use those elements in the service of an expressive goal. I think it’s quite plausible that we plateau to a point where the user of these systems still needs significant technical knowledge (drawing and painting) in order to correctly specify the requirements to the model.
- bsenftner 4y agoThe amount of time required is immaterial. It is the quality of the communication that matters. Unless you can realize the significance of when Duchamp submitted an ordinary yet upside down urinal as Fine Art, then you don't really understand the nature of Art. Like I say above, Art is not pretty pictures.
