Message: <blockquote data-quote="Basic Expert" data-source="post: 9880035" data-attributes="member: 7054049">AI art is a commodity that has no value. Why buy something made with AI when you can generate the same thing yourself, for free? LLMs have some legitimate uses, but churning out AI slop for a quick buck isn't one of them.With art you are buying imagination, a POV, a work from someone that is grappling with the fundamental contradictions of human existence. A computer doesn't understand any of that. It doesn't create. It doesn't even generate. It certainly can't innovate. It merely assembles from stolen pieces. Humans who use AI to "create" art might have the imagination to create something new, but they are uninterested in the work it takes to master a medium (and no, prompting AI is not a skill). There is no sacrifice, no dedication in their craft, no yearning for achieving the unachievable. No innate talent or virtuoso technique to be astonished by. Their works are destined to be uninspired, derivative, pandering, even insipid. 100% disposable.</blockquote>
