I'm not surprised more and more art communities are banning AI images, 99% of them are dull and ugly. Definitely not something I would print out and hang on my wall. I tried playing around with these models, but I was too bored to bother futzing around with prompts to try and make something I liked.

But I have seen some cool things made using these models by creators who put more effort in than just writing a prompt to get back an image. I can definitely see how these tools can enhance human creativity but like most art the results are just bad.

At least with some human art even if it's not aesthetically pleasing you can appreciate the thinking or time and effort put into producing a piece of work. When you go to an art museum you can learn about history, politics, culture etc even if you don't appreciate how something might look.

Most AI art, however, is useless and ugly.

Printing things was at one point thought to devalue art and remove artist jobs.
