    A big part of my appreciation towards the arts is the creativity behind it. Obviously I am not impressed with an internet-searching AI when compared, unless I am specifically interested in the code of the AI

      How much do you know about the code of AIs? There seems to be an idea that they just photoshop together stuff they find off the internet, which is nothing like the actual situation.

        As a CompSci major I at least have a great idea of what’s under the hood, so I can appreciate the creator of the AI and those that helped push the field to its current limits.

          Well, you should know in that case that AI art generators don’t “search the internet” when they generate images. I have a local installation of Stable Diffusion and it works perfectly fine with the internet disconnected.

            To be fair: to create said local model on your pc it had to get trained on thousands if not millions of accurately described images. You only install what the model has learned on your computer- not the training data.

              Sure, but the person I’m responding to literally described AI art generators as “internet-searching AI” and that’s a common misconception of how they work. Even among people who confidently claim to know how these things work.

                Yeah - didn’t read his first comment… CompSci Major…

                Sorry…

                  It’s okay, there are a lot of misconceptions out there and what you said was also informative and true. So hopefully it all helps.

            It appears I did a lot of damage by over-generalizing in my comment. My bad.

            Either way, that Stable Diffusion was trained on shared data, not that it literally requires Googling and scanning pictures.

            I wasn’t trying to make it a lesson on AI so my bad! Thanks for the info!

          Comp sci majors are perfect examples of the dunning Kruger effect when it comes to anything tech related.

      I judge art more by how it affects me. But then again i do separate beauty / something that i can find meaning in from art by an intention. And AI has no intention, or an intention to create at least. A spider web covered in morning dew is beautiful and can contain meaning but its not art.

      Art is incredibly subjective and comes in many forms, I consider AI art to be just another form of art. And as a person who can barely draw a stick figure, a form of art that I can actually use to get ideas out of my head for once lmao

      How do you judge how much “creativity” is behind any given image? You say you’re “obviously” not impressed with AI-generated art, but how is it so obvious to you which images are AI generated and which are not? There are plenty of quizzes online that challenge people to identify AI art, this one for example, and it certainly doesn’t seem obvious to me.
