    "The BBC article about AI image generators I was interviewed for is up. The founder of Stable Diffusion comes across like a real asshole here. The guy just genuinely doesn’t understand artists."

    • I would add nobody (yet) takes "AI artists" seriously. Probably never will...

      the generated images LOOK like art, but there's no art there
      ********
    • Also added art = imagination + effort, so unless you do the actual work, you're not making any art so yeah
      ********
    • LOL

      "These tools allow people to become artists as much as Starbucks allows people to become baristas by ordering coffee."

    • I understand the need for "artists" to feel that like are worth something by investing time in whatever it is they're producing. At that is the art for them...palimpsest
    • ... not the actual object. But I don't think that the worth for the public is the the time spend on it but the results, not as object but as as the concepts...palimpsest
    • ... these "artists" can put forward. If a "machine" can put forward better concepts then that machine is making better art.palimpsest
    • But it's not really the machine that is putting these concepts forwards it's the artists behind it. We just look at art differently.palimpsest
    • So just pay these "artists" by the hour.palimpsest
    • At the end of the day it seems like these "artists" are just worried about not getting paid. It's like a reverse NFT, it's not about the art for either of thosepalimpsest
    • "Also added art = imagination + effort"
      Not for all of us though.      palimpsest
    • What I feel many people miss about Duchamp's readymades is that they think it was about the beauty of everyday objects.palimpsest
    • It was about something bigger than that, he was looking at the whole system. At the role of the artists, he has always claimed that it wasn't about aesthetics.palimpsest
    • I think these "artists" need to pull themselves out of their bubbles and look at the artworld and make meaningful contributions to it....palimpsest
    • ... that's what it's about to me.palimpsest
