Because it’s not a human and possesses no self awareness. Humans take inspiration, machines copy. When people tell stories, they have to think about what they’re doing and why. Everything in a work of fiction is intentionally put there by the author. Computer programs do what they are programmed to do, which in this case is copy shit other people made. That’s what it’s designed to do. You’re speaking about the technology as if it were anything more than that, as if it were a person who were capable of knowing the difference. It doesn’t know the meaning of terms like “homage” or “adaptation”. It does not think about what it spits out at all. It’s sole function is to do what you ask of it, and it does that using data stolen from other people. That’s not even getting into the whole spyware thing tech bros keep trying to normalize.
You cannot be both pro-art and pro-“AI”. Full fucking stop.
To create an AI image there must be a human being with an idea. The human being wants to create a Degas style ballerina. The idea was created by their organic brain. Then they take some tool and make the idea come true. The tool can be a brush with paint or AI.
Because its gatekeeping. Making blanket statement that a piece can’t be considered art because of certain tools used in its making goes against the whole principle imo.
My comment above is sarcastic btw, I’m not sure if it came off that way. I’m mocking his “you can’t be pro ai and pro art” bit and his whole rant in general. I find it completely asinine when people try to define art to suit their purposes and draw lines between what is or isn’t.

I’ll add that the way art is made is craft, not art. Art is the idea behind the craft. AI skips the crafty part, not the art part.
Why not both?

Ah, the artist’s favorite pastime, drawing arbitrary lines.
