Redditors Vent and Complain When People Mock Their "AI Art" (futurism.com)

Setting aside the usual arguments on the anti- and pro-AI art debate and the nature of creativity itself, perhaps the negative reaction that the Redditor encountered is part of a sea change in opinion among many people that think corporate AI platforms are exploitive and extractive in nature because their datasets rely on copyrighted material without the original artists' permission. And that's without getting into AI's negative drag on the environment.

AI art is like the speech synthesiser that came with Amiga’s Workbench. Amusing for yourself to make it say swears, but of no interest to anyone else.

Until it becomes part of the samples/loops for a whole new genre of music two decades later. Like the TR909 drum machine and the popular "amen break" rhythm line.

Yeah no one will ever have any use for synthesized voice. It's like the drum machine, just a silly gadget which will never have any impact on music...

Hmmm.

Ai image gen will continue to improve, a kid born today will likely grow in a world where they're completely used to game render engines using generative ai, where they design complex and beautiful virtual worlds, and where art lessons focus more on design and expression than technical skill (which people interested in will learn with thy help of ai tools).

You're welcome to feel however you like about new technologies but don't tattoo your idea that ai image gen is just a fad because it won't age well.
