I see a lot of AI art defenders asking what makes art, art. A lot people come up with definitions on it but it always excuses certain arts. I believe I have the definitive answer but of course if I have left out some art communities or there are holes in this explaining I would love some constructive criticism.
Art is when you put feelings in something that maybe for the good, the bad, or the neutral. Its when you love creating something no matter how it looks. Its when your bored and just doodle a little guy. It can also come with the hate of AI art and creating a hate piece of how much you hate it. Now I do not consider art that damages a person mental or physical health to be art, via drawing someone getting raped, killed, bullied, etc im a way that is telling the person that it should happen to them.
Some AI artists may say "a lot of people who put their passion into the prompt should that be considered art? AI art doesn't have feelings, in a way. AI artists that put their feelings into a prompt , I get that, but putting it into a machine dwindles it. It like working at a bakery and putting trace amounts of mercury in a cakes. While yes it won't inherently hurt someone right away slowly over time it hurts them(via environmental damage, getting laid off at work, or even just the rise of prices).
Another thing AI "artists" say is what about disabled people or AI making it easier for them to do things. I do believe that it is ableist to say that disabled people cannot make art with AI but also that it goes the same way with saying they can't. So as a non-disabled person I will not go anymore but if any disabled person want to tell their side it's fine.]
The other point that makes it easier cost less time and money was integrated into the last point but also like a said that poisonous humanity where if AI actually does make life so much easier you'll end up like those people from wall-e
In conclusion while you shouldn't bully or send death threats to people using AI art, and AI isn't consistently bad it slowly damages us like poison.
PS: this is just AI art I understand stand that AI can do wonderful things. This is just taking about AI "art"
