This post by photographer Jingna Zhang resonates with me.
#AI art is devoid of humanity, intention, and backstory. It’s a shallow remix of human works, designed to be consumed and discarded, grinding human creation down into a sandy paste, to be re-extruded into grotesque displays. It’s the opposite of what makes art so valuable.

@drahardja the part about placing the petals is something I don't think folks think about a lot. There's so much tiny, practically invisible, detail work that can go into creating an artwork. An intention at each step, a thought process about each element of detail, each petal.
@ReverendMoose @drahardja and as @pluralistic puts it, they are the result of tiny decisions.
“Art, in other words, is an act of communication – and there you have the problem with AI art. As a writer, when I write a novel, I make tens – if not hundreds – of thousands of tiny decisions …”
@peterfr this makes sense because AI has nothing to communicate, and in fact can't even understand what's being said.
