Most “AI art” is art like “clip art” is art.

This is a phase that will pass.

There will be (and already are) legitimate artists who leverage AI as a creative tool like any other medium/tool (Photoshop, cameras, paint brushes, etc). I respect them even if others immediately dismiss anything AI related.

AI has completely replaced clip art at my job. I miss those old clip art CDs from the 90s

In case you were being serious ;)

I was being serious. Thank you! One of the first CD-ROMs I got was clip art so clip art always reminds me of being a kid discovering computers.

Clip art is actual art, unlike AI “art”.

Most clip art is actual art like my child’s drawings are “art”.

Define ego

The conscious, rational part of the psyche that defines an individual's sense of self-worth and identity, mediating between reality and instinct.

Guessing you’re not a big academic reader?

when people talk about AI art they aren't talking about using photoshop smart select to remove a lamppost, and it's pretty disingenuous to pretend they might be.

Clip art was created for specific purposes by humans, and continues to find use in those niches.

I’m not talking about smart select, but generative AI. It can certainly be used as a tool in art.
