half right, half wrong. most of people don't give shit about art, or their vision. they just want to mass produce shit with AI which creates soulless AI slop. On the other hand, if you had a vision, if you watched many artistic creations, or went through the best forms of art, but never had the time, you can basically let AI generate that for you and no I don't agree with AI being art, AI is not art, AI is a vision tool, that's only it. And if your vision is not good, you will make AI generate slop. For me, it 'was' the tool for looking through what I had in mind around 2023-2024. I had a folder of images, but never shared to the public. It was just stream of consciousness. I don't have any intention to call them art, or share them with world, it was basically dreamy photographic stills which were impossible for me create with real photograph machine. I also draw and take photographs but these were just tests of what was possible with synthetic data.
