AI-Generated Blue-Haired Portrait Fuels Art Debate

Users reply to an AI-generated portrait of a blue-haired figure with views on creative process and training data.

An image posted by @TheMG3D shows a blue-haired figure and carries the caption that AI is not better than bad art. @ClaireSilver describes the surrounding discussion as split between people who see art as process and those who see it as result. @McKathlinDev lists objections including training on creators' works without consent and the loss of small creative steps. @BlackDumpling compares AI art to film directing through curation. @Skullgrin140 calls AI a cancer on creativity. Other replies note risks of over-reliance on AI for coding and the presence of judgmental viewers.

you can boil down anti/pro AI art discourse to “art is process” people and “art is result” people which makes it objectively funny when the “process” people threaten to set your parents house on fire

99.9% of "AI artists" just refuse to admit they have nothing interesting to contribute to creativity and just love to weaponize their inability to express themselves without their fancy toys coddling them like children. AI is nothing more than a cancer.

there's no such thing as bad art, unless the theme it covers is controversial, but there ARE judgemental people.

  @ClaireSilver no matter how novel or transformative the approach we develop with AI tools, there will probably always be people who feel existentially threatened by what we can make with them: perhaps increasingly so, the more novel or transformative it becomes made me think of…

  @ClaireSilver Not to mention the AI art process can be as involved and engaging as creating manually. That’s coming from someone who does both. It’s like any creative process, a tool, that can used as lazily or as laboriously as one wishes.
