Perhaps its just because its early innings but a lot of the early examples of AI generated art seem to be in that uncanny valley stage. A bit dystopian - like from an unpleasant dream. I'm curious whether thats just the text descriptions people are putting into the generators to get clicks or inherent in the AI art generation techniques used. I'll also throw out that for most of the history of art - "art" has always been cheap to produce. My pre-schooler created "art". Its really only the outliers that we remember. And really the ones who make it do it through verbal communication of their ideas or have some mechanism for conveying a consistent, overarching theme/narrative. [1] A professional AI "artist" might need to figure out how to become more of a visual creator/curator - ushering the generated images into coherent story that can be shared via discussions at gallery showings, etc. Perhaps real professional visual artists need to find the equivalent of a live show that has kept music viable as a career or a live book reading that makes an author relatable.
