i just dont get how these people who type some bullshit into chatgpt actually think and feel like they’re creating something

the whole fun of art is the process and bringing everything together. knowing you saw some shit in your head and created it. what satisfaction could ai “art” bring its “creators” other than maybe tricking dumb old people who dont understand “ai” into thinking they have talent

    I implore everyone to look at the 1,9 million member strong /r/wallpaper and especially this specific post:

    Because this and so much AI art looks exactly like that and for the same reason I imagine, it’s not “art” in the sense that it ever had anything to say except looking cool or pleasant or whatever because functionally it’s that, it’s wallpaper. It’s background noise. Following this I think I get the success in the sense that having to learn blender and photoshop to do this type of thing was always just a hindrance

      i guess i see where you’re coming from and maybe its just the sort of person i am as a more tech-literate and artistic sort, but i would (and have) much rather just learn to use the programs. there’s actual satisfaction and artistic merit in that. i hate to shit on people and i know not everyone can be skilled at making good looking art so i dont wanna be like negative or anything towards those people but seeing someone refer to it as “their work”. im just not into that lol

        Oh this isn’t a defense. I’ll freely admit to a brief phase in my teens of trying to make my computer cool as fuck with wallpapers and GUI modifying software and such but I do believe that’s a youth sin you’re allowed to have and then you oughta grow out of it, not continue down the path and think the picture that says nothing at all should be featured in an art gallery because it has that mid 2010s “photorealistic” HDR bullshit sheen

        My point was much more that I don’t think the trend is as new as AI image generation, that just revived a movement that died out when everything got turned into smartphones and tablets. Like I’m pretty sure the example you posted is on a 16:9 vertical aspect ratio because it started as a phone wallpaper
