I look at these works of art created by artificial intelligence and I think: yes, it’s beautiful, yes, it’s good, but… What’s the point? Where’s the story, where’s the work, if everything is so simple, then what’s the point? It’s no better than a store where you come and buy, although no, you come, take everything you need for free and leave. I don’t see any value in it, it’s just boring.
I said this in another thread, but i think that a lot of the value of art comes from the effort. That’s why people get so upset about some modern and postmodern art that looks ‘easy’.
Many things that we do are only worthwhile because of the difficulty. If you just want to put a ball in a hole, you can walk over and drop it in with your hand. Add clubs, sand and water traps, and terrain - now you have a game.
I think this is one of the biggest disconnects between people who create art and people who don’t (me). I don’t understand this sentiment at all. I don’t care how much effort a piece of art took or what the process was, I care about the output. But I know lots of people who create art and this stuff about the process and difficulty really seems to matter to them. Which is fine, they are entitled to like what they like, but I just don’t get it.
I don’t like AI art because it steals from artists and looks like crap, but the fact that it’s easy doesn’t matter to me.
I wonder if this is part of the disconnect between artists and AI boosters (I am neither).
Here you are right, if there is no value, then everything becomes empty and, moreover, turns into a dump in the case of AI.
