"AI" "art" which is neither
We have harnessed the power of intelligence in our own machines by replicating a part of the brain. The intelligence is artificial, making it "Artificial Intelligence". The name is exactly what it does.
You claim to know that it can never be art? If art had limits, it wouldn't be art.
I'm pretty sure most people would agree that art is the product of an artist, not just 'thing that looks nice'
AI being appropriated for neural nets which might even do things unrelated to what we think of as intelligence is annoying, I'll give you that.
What art is is kind of a huge can of worms, though. In any case, it's pretty clear they can satisfy potential clients a lot better than human digital artists, and that's where at least part of the butthurt comes from.
that's true but i'm passing positive that if you asked a hundred thousand people to define art not a single one would say something like
Agreed. The point being that people aren't really upset about whether it's art or not. They're mad about money.
And that's not exactly dumb either, making bread is important. It'd just be nice if it was admitted to.
