What is good art? Stuff like this can be produced with zero effort in a couple of seconds. ChatGPT wrote the prompt. And to my eye at least that looks "good enough", it's not like I frequently see human art that looks better. If we get AI that can write elevator music at that level, I'd probably be fine with that too.
For art to be good it needs to leave an impression on people. Can't imagine anyone taking anything away from Generic Pretty Girl #372
Most stuff looks pretty generic, you're right. But there's actually been a couple times when I've been baffled by the output. For this one, for example, I just gave it my username
I think magicians love when audiences are willing to both believe in magic and maintain a respect for the secrecy of their trade.
I'll tell you what I know for sure: people from my generation are working like their lives depend on it to separate the new generations from their money using our triumphant new invention; so of course this looks like impressive art to younger people and no one else; you'll love the AI music we sell you too! And wait till you meet all the AI characters we've trained for you! You can sit, jaw dropped stifling laughter to hear the next joke designed to make you cackle so hard you piss yourself, in a room full of tailored friends.
There are still tons of real things in this world: they still inspire more fruitful wonder than we do for ourselves and our contraptions.
So what exactly do you consider "impressive art"?
The money argument is frankly a bit pointless at the moment, since nobody has figured out how to make money with AI art. Any new AI tool is replicated by another company within months. The AI art itself is essentially worthless, since everybody can just generate it by themselves for free. A lot of the tools are also Open Source and can run on your own PC locally.
Maybe one day we'll have some AI-TikTok with an endless stream of user-targeted AI content and ads in between, but that doesn't exist yet. For the time being, AI is just costing companies money, while users can enjoy it for free.
