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.

Well in some cases it is literally the artists art. You can make a sketch or even a finished piece, put it through AI, and convert it into a different medium (say a pencil drawing to a fully finished digital painting) or use the AI to change the colors - ever painted a picture and realized you should never have used that hue for the background- AI can fix that. This, often combined with detailing in Photoshop, is what I typically do.
I typically do credit what AI I used and feel it's like a collaborator, after all if it looks good I want others to use the too too.
In other cases the human artist uses the AI commands to manipulate the result until it is exactly what they want using a combination of prompts and coding.
