What do you think about the fact that AI blurs the line between reality and fiction and devalues art and real people? (lemmy.world)

The discussion is whether it is art or not. It doesn't matter how bad someone is at it - people still accept it as art. You'd be a massive dick telling a beginner that their photography is so terrible it doesn't even qualify as art. You can also take a great picture completely by accident, just like you can put a ton of effort into one and still end up with garbage.

    Any HUMAN being using learned skill to capture a photo is art. Because art is something produced by a mind that strives to create it.

    AI is not art because AI can’t comprehend art.

    A camera can't comprehend art either - it's just a tool a human uses to create it. AI doesn't generate anything on its own either; it needs a human to operate it too. The camera isn't the artist, Photoshop isn't, a canvas and brush aren't, Illustrator isn't. They're just tools. The artist is the human behind them.

    Okay. I’m convinced you’re one of these “artists” I referred to. No one defends trash that hasn’t found a way to get something from it.

    Stop with the camera thing. It’s a bad argument. It’s not remotely the same thing. And every time I hear it- which is a lot because it’s The only thing the “artists” and “musicians” use to defend their trash- it makes me cringe.
