The question about the legal and moral aspects of training on works of other artists is related, but a different discussion.

    Gave you an upvote. This is an unpopular opinion shared on unpopularopinion.

    Personally I find AI art to look like “AI-art” if that makes sense. It has this generic look and feel to it. It might just be that people have to prompt it differently to get something that does not look generic.

    In my view it can be art, but it is just other peoples art regurgitated by a machine with lots of filtering (to prevent nudity and other things that art historically often contain)

    I think the biggest issue with LLMs / AI is that it is a loophole to use other peoples work and avoid copyright and licenses.

      I know what you mean and while I generally agree I must still note that this only applies to the “bad” examples. It’s conceivable that you too have seen pieces you truly liked but didn’t realize were made by AI. This is something people often don’t seem to consider; AI art is only bad untill it isn’t.
