no effort into the art just because they use AI? clearly you aren’t aware of the latest job market for AI Prompt Engineers who can control how an AI generates the final results by writing their prompts with the correct keywords… the people who say junk like “oh its AI. it isn’t art.” or stuff like “AI art is plagiarism.” or “it lacks originality.” well…. you clearly don’t know what YOU are talking about…
1st off… EVERY artist and EVERY game and EVERY film and EVERY song created in this current era is absolutely devoid of anything truly “original” since they’re created using the same methods as any instance of the same medium that came before it. If you draw a person, you include the same body parts as all other artists who ever drew a person before you in the same exact structural arrangements as every other artist before you.
The only difference between using AI to create a drawing and drawing by hand is the amount of time it takes to finish the piece. The AI does exactly the same process as a Human Artist would but fully automated and it does require Human Input to know WHAT to draw hence why you cannot say “no effort is required” since you as the AI user MUST know what you want the AI to create and then design the AI prompt to guide the AI towards the desired results.
You say its a “Lie of omission” do you? Are you saying its against the law to use AI in the process of creating art even when you don’t train the AI on art that is forbidden to be used for that purpose? Did you know that the reputable AI Art generators are ONLY trained on art that the artists have given the OK to do so? You can submit your art to a global database of art that is forbidden to train AI on and any art in that database is then protected and any public AI art generator tools (like Leonardo.ai) found using those art pieces for AI training are required by law to remove them from their trained AI models.
anywho… I apologize for unloading like that… but as a software engineer, game dev and an AI user myself, I absolutely hate it when people make comments like yours @nyny69 and @nolongeradude about AI when you clearly know nothing about it. Lack of understanding is no excuse for making ignorant statements publicly like that…
