Setting aside the stolen works it's trained on.
Setting aside the expensive energy costs it requires.
Setting aside the environmentally-damaging impacts it has.
Setting aside the corporate desire for "line go up always" that results in the loss of jobs.
I don't want to see it. I find AI Art boring. It's reductive, soulless, uninteresting.
Even if it had soul.
Even if it was interesting.
Even if it wasn't reductive, I still wouldn't want to see it.
I want to see art made by humans, whether it's beautiful or large or tiny or ugly. Bad, flawed art made by the human hand is infinitely more interesting than anything AI prompts could create.
It makes me sad to see people give up on their crooked lines, their splotched colors, their artistic foibles, for the supposed ease and perfection of AI Art. Losing personal and flawed creativity to shiny "progress."
AI's ideals feel so often built on the idea that to create, to draw, to make art is based on Talent, but Talent doesn't exist. Talent is a cloak tossed over Time and Experience, both of which cannot be properly replicated by AI. Both of which cannot be replaced by anything but itself.
It makes people stop trying, stop sharing, stop growing. Giving up the human act of creation and replacing it with the commodification of creativity, the world of instant and perpetual "content" to be consumed without thought or emotion.
And that makes me sad to see.
Could it be neat? Could it be cool? Sure! But in our capitalist society of number-go-up, in a world where people accuse artists of gatekeeping art (as if such a thing were true!), where.... I cannot find it possible.
I have no interest in seeing AI Art. Just like I had no interest in NFTs. Just like I have not interest in Crypto. And so on. And so on.
