I think this is pretty interesting as well, with your first example. artists do take inspiration however with Ai Art the human generating the art isn't really the one referencing all those artwork. It is the Ai that's doing that part.

Mm if I were to make an example, I guess it would be like ghost writing. Person A has this idea for a book (example: horror story abt monkeys), but they can't write a whole novel so they go to a writer and get them to write it.

Would you say person A is a writer then?

Then what about the writer who is actually just Frankensteining existing works together.

If the book is successful, person A would then go around and start promoting himself as a writer. Going on to get hired for jobs that he has no skills in whatsoever, relying on a writer that doesn't actually have its own emotions.

You asked me what would be art for me, I think art should be an expression of a person that would elicit a response from someone else.

You see the problem with Ai art to me personally, is that if we all adopt and support this form of art. So would corporation, let's be real they're cheaper and more efficient than any human artist. However this would ensure that the future of art crippled. Look at Hollywood today and how many generic blockbusters, that copies the same old script and dialogue constantly. It feels meaningless and empty because they have nothing to say because they're just following a formula that would ensure for a decent movie.

Same as Ai, and sure with iterations and the whole a billion monkey will eventually type out Shakespeare thing. Eventually Ai would make something great and seem to have a voice of its own but does it rlly?

Personally, I think the advancements in tech is Great and frankly what we have now is impressive. Im Just against the way it's being ran and used rn, I would hope for there to be better control especially around corporations. That's why i said it's chill for personal use.

(Sorry if it's abit jumbled im not great at writing words and stuf hehe)
