"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

It isn't self evident. Otherwise a movie director does not create art either because they only prompt.
Nor is AI art in college trivial because by you claimed the physical part of creating art isn't the important part. You need to know all the basics in exactly the same way a photographer needs to know the basics.
It is by definition. If you were an art director and told an assistant to move an apple a little to the left before you pushed a button, that's no different than telling an AI to move an apple a little to the left before pressing a button.
As to AI only regurgitating preexisting art, I refer you to the Pop Art, Abstract Expressionism and Dada. There is no difference between telling someone to draw a beard and mustache on the Mona Lisa and telling an AI.
Kids are learning AI art in college. It's no different than when kids started learning photography in college and actual artists opposed it.
“If photography is allowed to supplement art in some of its functions, it will soon supplant or corrupt it altogether, thanks to the stupidity of the multitude which is its natural ally.”
Charles Baudelaire, 1859
