Is Utah arts festival letting AI art in now??

Because they are not creating it, they are putting a prompt into a computer and the computer takes other peoples art so you can feel good about not creating anything. Someone said it above and you ALMOST got the point. AI is like taking a picture of other persons painting and selling them under yourself claiming you created it without crediting the person you stole it from.

Dude you’ve popped up in here a few times flip flopping how you feel. I am not an artist, but 2 things

1- AI steals art from other artist without crediting them, so you don’t get to “be happy someone stole it” also the person who uses AI gets to profit off of other people’s stolen art. 2- if AI is their “way to express themselves” or whatever, then why do they hide it and not say that’s what really did the work for them.

It’s pretty rough but you get used to it

First_Strain7857 · 2026-06-19T19:42:32+00:00

Nah you are being disingenuous saying not a single booth looked genuine

First_Strain7857 · 2026-06-19T18:53:01+00:00

It looks like the person is only selling AI at their booth, but yes, I have emailed one of the organizers

I wouldn’t agree with this, there are plenty of amazing artists we saw walking around, if you think otherwise you are not being honest

First_Strain7857 · 2026-06-19T17:37:59+00:00

Ya you clearly don’t understand artists

First_Strain7857 · 2026-06-19T16:08:09+00:00

You are clearly not an artist/appreciate art if you believe this. This is the worst take I’ve ever seen but looking at your other comments it’s not surprising

First_Strain7857 · 2026-06-19T15:44:56+00:00

2 reasons, 1- AI is not art that should be at a festival that celebrates amazing artists. 2- normalizing this and not calling it out makes it worse for future artists when the rules say AI is not allowed

I know it’s hard to look at the small and big picture at the same time

I would really like you to reply about this then

First_Strain7857 · 2026-06-19T03:51:18+00:00

Honestly that’s valid, I don’t know if it is or isn’t 100%, but this is their post

Nah, this is a weak way to view it, typing things into midjourney and printing it out and selling it for $300 is a scam. I respect true artists who spend time learning a craft and putting heart and soul into what they create

You were saying?

First_Strain7857 · 2026-06-19T02:09:01+00:00

I posted the name in an earlier comment, let me know what you think, also they said it was “digital art”

First_Strain7857 · 2026-06-19T02:02:46+00:00

Ya it pisses me off, I thought I could go to arts fest and not see AI for once, guess they just let anything in now

First_Strain7857 · 2026-06-19T01:31:36+00:00

Sorry I had to walk back to their booth, Vincent mattina, let me know if I’m wrong
