Yeah the dumpster fire doing the donkey work as you call it should get the credit for your "art". You do the prompts but it does the work while draining essential resources like water.

There's no room in art for AI because AI replaces the artist.

You talk about investing time to ensure quality but realistically the market calls for the quickest result which ensures the algorithm bleeds on and infects the next post etc etc

As bad as the internet is for humanity, AI is literally a poisoned chalice that we seem willingly to drink from

I use AI to do this one specific task while I'm making art

AI replaces artists, there's no room for AI in art.

?????

Also, weird to bring up markets in a discussion about artistic merit; there's more to art than making money.

Well in this case the OP isn't making art , the AI is with their prompts.

When I say that AI replaces artists I guess we get into an existential crisis where you have to ask yourself if an AI version of Freddie mercury singing chapelle roan songs is art. Can you use AI to touch up the mona Lisa. Etc etc

I feel like there's a sterile clinical touch to AI that can't really speak to the soul of an artist whether it's technically better or not.

I mention markets because no matter how pure you think the tool is , there's gonna be somebody in the capitalist market that will utilize and abuse it for monetary value. It happens now with graphic designers and Photoshop. I refer to promo materials created by a designer for a company as art and as such the artist should be paid accordingly.

We're already seeing AI slip all over social media for casinos and scams, it's only a matter of time before legitimate business lean into it
