AI gets confused with art, as long as someone never shared the experience of investing effort to create something. AI enthusiasts appear to be blind to the artistic process.

Respectfully, I offer that if one thinks AI art does not require effort, that there is no investment nor creation, then one is woefully ignorant of the thing one is criticising.

Take Suno, the music generator, for example. Personally, I sweat over the simplest of things, burning through a thousand credits and hours and hours to get specifically the sound or mood that I want. By the end, the song is an expression of precisely the idea that I had in mind. AI only freed me from the constraint of actually having to be able to play, say, a trumpet, or owning one, or having a studio to record in. Virtually everthing important about the song will have been a direct result of my creativity and active volition.

If one can critique that, then the argument is hypocritical coming from someone that uses a digital computer to render art. One critique cannot be valid and the other not.

I believe your critique is only valid for a small percentage of users of AI, the cariacatures, and there is even a name for the class of user you are referring to and the artifacts they produce: "AI Slop".

The others are using AI as a tool to enable their creativity by just removing mechanical barriers, just like DAZ Studio and iRay do. I see no difference at all.

Probably because I've used AI to my advantage more than I chose to just criticize it and risk irrelevance. Look, I'm a software developer by trade and so there is no one here whose job is more at risk than mine. Companies are chomping at the bit to lay off expensive engineers, and it is already happening. But when all the hysteria is over, there will be software engineers because it is not software engineers versus AI, it is software engineers who use AI versus software engineers who do not.

Throughout the history of technology from at least the beginning of the Rennaissance, that has been the case; one ignores that at one's peril. And I note that we all still have jobs. That's because AI is going to destroy jobs, yes, of course, but it is going to create ones that we haven't even dreamed about yet. Much like, before the 1940s, there were no software developers and a "computer" was a person.
 

 

That is I take I agree with.  I personally see an opportunity and don't want to be crushed by AI cause it will make parts of my job irrelevant unless I work with it.  If we don't we can just go do some manual labor jobs from here on out.  

That's an interesting viewpoint. When Ai was first announced it was claimed that it would eventually take over all the manual labor jobs, leaving humans free to explore concepts, and new ideas. Now we're seeing that the Ai will be exploring concepts and ideas, and the humans will be doing the manual labor. Not a world I would want.

Almost done with it!  Almost ready to upload.

Looking forward to seeing it! I've been thinking about trying such a thing out but my extreme lack of free time has meant progress is slooooooow. This sounds like it will a huge jump-start!
