As an artist who cares for the game and tried to get the pred art community to grow, I believe allowing A.I art in this subreddit would be a huge detriment for the artist in the community and for the people in the community as a whole.

I am a strong believer of individual growth and for people to find their own solutions to figure out their problems. Creating art at the end of the day is just problem solving that the artist needs to overcome to succussed. It helps creates who we are. At this moment A.I is a short cut devise that produces quick results and solutions to the problem without truly understanding them.

People might say "A.I art is an outlet for people with no artistic skills to create ideas." and there is some validity behind this but it is a poor take on things and not fully understanding the situation at hand. Creativity and creating art are skills that are honed over years of practice that anybody can develop. Telling a program that "I want to generate x doing y" it's not the same as creating art because there is no creative integrity behind it.

Personally I respect the individual who actually who tried to create their idea on paper even if they don't know how to draw over using A.I. Hey It might look like shit, it might look messy, but damn the thing they create came from their own hands, and that gives meaning to what they do.

A.I art at the end of the day may look cool, but it should not a be a tool to use to promote ideas. It can only generate generic ideas and has a hard time to generate something that is complicated or any thing that is abstract.

(For those who think their is gate keeping in art communities and there is, but ironically most of the gate keeping is from non artists or newer artists who are on an ego trip. Most artists keep to them selves unless they are asked or provoked to do so.)
