For art to be good it needs to leave an impression on people.

It's leaving an impression on me. What do you consider good art?

Can’t imagine anyone taking anything away from Generic Pretty Girl #372

Well, you can have it with robots, cows and horses too. That's the fun of it, it's endlessly remixable.

I don't think you're going to remember that particular image in a week.

That's just due to the lack of repetition, not due to a lack in the art. If I print it out and hang it on the wall, I am sure remembering it. In the digital realm it's just one image out of hundreds. That's the fun with AI art, the act of creation and consumption blur together. The individual image is little more than a starting point for further creation.

I think your generation's the first to be totally pink for this sort of thing and I'm worried for ya

I'm gutted that you can't tell the difference. Or that you don't care to. It's sad you think this toy is an idol.

Then fucking enlightenment. Everybody keeps talking "AI art bad" yet nobody keeps showing what good art is supposed to be.

It's an infinite crap generator, which I can see why people are so enamored with it. Because people seem to want a seeming variety of generic junk almost instinctually. Just take a look at the variety of garbage available on all streaming platforms right now, the variety of garbage on YouTube, or even worse a single aisle in any grocery store: shelves full of crap that's often the same thing with different labels, substances that are utter shit on almost a molecular level but seem appealing or better than others based upon packaging.

Edit: Amazon is nearly a perfection of the instant, endless crap business model. Just imagine when someone hooks up one of these things to a 3d printer. You can then have infinite crap generated entirely based upon your search queries. Now if you'll excuse me I have a patent application to file....

Can't wait till it starts feeding on itself cuz it ran out of everything else.

Yeah, and that was created by humans. Guess why I like AI art? It can produce way more interesting stuff than that. The bar for "human art" is pretty f'n low. What do you consider "good art"?
