Hot take about hot takes (a hot metatake, if you will)
If your "AI art isn't real art" take would also rule out
-photography -collage -surrealism -dadaism -readymades -generative art
you are not making some Inspired Point about Art™, you are simply being reactionary.
Tags from a happy customer:
#it doesnt. what it does rule out is ''''art'''' consisting of something from copied and pasted bits of other images it thinks go together
You are describing collage.
#but in much the same way drawing a mustache onto something doesn't make it yours#editing ai art still isnt yours
You are describing L.H.O.O.Q., a piece of art created by Marcel Duchamp.
Say it with me, folks:
The issue with AI generated content isn’t that it isn’t “real art”.
The issues with AI generated content are the scraping the process incurs in, and the contexts in which that art is used (to pay workers less, to produce non-consensual nudes, to plagiarize…).
“Real art” doesn’t exist. “Real art” is an illusion. Shake the idea of “real art” off your brain.
