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 Artโข, 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 isnโt that it isnโt โreal artโ.
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 plagiarizeโฆ).
โReal artโ doesnโt exist. โReal artโ is an illusion. Shake the idea of โreal artโ off your brain.
