AI art is, by very definition, average.
It's the best fit line. It's the most common. The mean or the median.
The best art is exceptional.
Average AI art is average. Exceptional AI art is exceptional.
People who use AI as the tool it is, rather than just feeding it a single prompt and taking a few good results, can make art just like any other artist using a tool. Some of that art is exceptional. Most of it is average. Just like any other tool.
The best AI art is often the result of multiple passes with inpainting and refining, and touchups in other tools. But that takes time, effort, and skill. Just like any other tool.
LMFAO "uhm ackshually guys AI art takes skill just like human art"
yeah bud, spending 30 minutes typing sentences into the artist crushing machine is grueling work
That's not how most people using it creatively are doing it though, have you seen the actual workflows people use? Inpainting and stuff, it can be just as involved as collage or other artforms.
For real, most of the people in this thread have no idea how any of these tools work.
Wow, it's like I'm back on reddit.
