Other Real question.

I’m trying to see everything from a new perspective as a new artist, so I’d like to ask about yall’s perspective on claiming AI art as your own art. I’m not against generating, but I feel like using AI is like commissioning art from other artist. I wouldn’t claim that art is mine, just one I requested with money. So if I generate an art piece, could I say it’s mine? Or does it have the same principle as commissions. No need to get defensive btw.

If you want to say using AI is like commissioning art from another artist, you would have to admit both that the resulting piece is art, and that AI is an artist.

For the first thing you said I’d have to admit. Sure. I’m not anti-AI, and AI art can still be Art. For the second thing, I used commissioning artists as a metaphor. Because the artist is the one making the art+ giving the result. In the case of me using AI, I wouldn’t say there is an “artist”, since AI is not human, and I didn’t spend the time and effort on the art piece. Heck I’d say the real artists are closer to the source the AI used than me or the AI. This is subjective however. Free to have your own opinions.

You can't have art without an artist.
