Im pretty sure that's called cheating.
Fuck AI
"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
If you listen to the AI preachers at their pulpits, AI gen works the same way that people making art does, so how could it be cheating if they're the same thing?
I like the artwork, I approve of the message, and this gave me a chuckle.
But c'mon, like, it's against the rules. If you are annoyed by AI art being submitted to human art contests, you should be annoyed by this too.
The first time I read about AI art being submitted to a human contest and winning, I thought, "how drôle." Of course, now I see it violates the spirit of competition. AI art should have its own category -- and that doesn't just go one way. Like it or not, AI is a tool and if some people want to explore how to use it to make good content, let's let them do that in peace. Maybe it will become fractionally less shitty.
Generated art isn't art. Generative AI artists don't exist. Calling it a tool implies it helps in the execution of a task when all it actually does is shit out slop based on stolen training data.
You should try the AI Art Turing Test! 50 "art" pieces, you have to decide whether they were human or AI. I got about 70% when I did this.
This is what will be so sad for the future. I though art was dead years ago, but it's truly dead now
