If the results don’t matter, does it matter if AI slop is “bad”?
I mean I didn’t say all art defined that way would be good art. But I also don’t find the outputs artistic at all.
The prompt may have been beautiful, and the process of learning and finding the right tools (i.e. choosing the right model) is akin to the struggles of any artist in learning their craft.
I was afraid going down this road too far would make me sound like I was an advocate for this technology. So I typed out something similar multiple times in my initial reply and then deleted it, but that was kind of my thinking as well.
I read an article where a writer was using autocomplete – in the before times when it wasn’t called AI – to try to write a piece about a relative that recently died that fully included the usage of the tool in the article itself, and that’s the closest thing to AI assisted art I’ve ever read. Now I wish I had saved it.
