A lot of people seem to think that all ai art is low effort garbage, which is just not true. There can be a lot of skill put into crafting the correct prompt to get the image you want from an image generator, not to mention the technical know-how of setting it up locally. The “ai art is not art” argument to me doesn’t sound any more substantiated than “electronic musicians aren’t musicians, go learn a real instrument” or “photographers aren’t really artists, all they do is push a button”. But regardless, I agree that we need good tagging, or as @ThatWeirdGuy1001 said, different communities. Even though the output looks similar, actually drawing things and wrangling prompts are two completely different skillsets, and the way we engage with the artistic product of those skills is completely different. You wouldn’t submit a photo you took to a watercolor painting contest. Same with ai art and non-ai art.

Anyway, just thought i’d share my opinion as an ai non-hater.

For art to be art you need space to express yourself through individual choices:

play an original song on a real instrument, and you have the entire artistic spectrum to yourself;

if you make the music for it out of individual pieces, you narrow that range. The sounds are not yours, only their composition and words;

when you record a cover of a rap song over some elses beat, you further narrow it down to your performance only. Its still artistic expression, but to a much less degree than no original song;

In a prompt generated image, the image itself is not your expression. The prompt is, but compare the amount of choices you need to make with a painting over a prompt, and you’ll see how much less of an art it is.

  In digital art, the image itself is not your expression. The idea is, but comparing the choice of shaders you use with brush strokes done with real paint, where you can see and feel the emotions the artist wanted to express with their physical brush, it’s just so… less art?
