Branding detail: The expression "OpenArt" sounds like a good fit for true art, as opposed to a form of synthetic visual production of visual arts mimicking art

Branding detail:
The expression "OpenArt" sounds like a good fit for true art, as opposed to a form of synthetic visual production of visual arts mimicking art. In a way is hijacking the notion of arts out of humanity.
Any philosophers around to help us with this?
- adammarples 4y agoFirst define "true art" and we'll start there
- sebastianconcpt 4y agoPrecisely, that's why we need a bit of help from philosophers and people that has deep historical knowledge of Art. From my naivety, if art started as a form of human expression, purely synthetically produced expressions are the antithesis of art. We can discuss what that is instead.
- qiaoshun8888 4y agoI think many people who aren't artists lack the skills to express their creativity and imagination, in a visual way like the artists do, and that's how this kind of AI tool can help with.
- sebastianconcpt 4y agoBut you're talking about high-cultural art thresholds, which is a valid topic but not the core of the concept. Any kid is an artist in a way, every caveman that painted its cave was an artist, you seducing your wife/girlfriend/significant other are doing art. Some silly memes are or aren't? That's why I repeat. We need a remix of technologists and philosopher's raising this discussion up.
- cocokechun 4y agoOpenArt means opening up all possibilities of art. We believe that AI and human together will do this together.
- sebastianconcpt 4y agoFair proposition, but then what's the place of humans there? How aren't they deprived of participation in creation and forced to stay as mere consumers in there?
