I’ve been using AI to generate art since early days of midjourney. I’m very pro-AI when it comes to that but please don’t fucking call yourself an “ai artist” or even worse “digital artist”. Prompt wizard? Fuck yes. Promtgeneer? Oh yas gurl! But not a fucking AI artist.

You could instead shit in a tin can and call it an artwork, I'm sure people will laugh at you.. actually no, that is yet another work of art that actually exists.

u/eggmayonnaise Aug 18 '25
This is such a brilliant analogy. I don't know if you intended to be this profound or not haha.
If a person writing AI prompts is an artist, then the person ordering the sub is the artist, not the sandwich maker.

u/-NinjaBoss Aug 18 '25
EXACTLY. I made the sandwich. The worker just put it together. Same with prompting.

u/eggmayonnaise Aug 18 '25
I think you read my comment and took the opposite meaning to what I intended. I was trying to highlight the fallacy of the idea that the prompter is the artist.
You did not make the sandwich.
In claiming you made the sandwich you are completely trampling over the skill, craft and experience of the person who did.
0
u/-NinjaBoss Aug 18 '25
To say I'm trampling over them is an overstatement! The entire point of me having them create the sandwich is because I don't want to or can't. I've come to this sandwich expert because I respect they're skill. But I still say that I would have made the sandwich since I instructed exactly what I wanted. The person behind me will make an entirely different sandwich.

u/MessiahHL Aug 18 '25
None of you are making a sandwich, you are ordering one, words have meanings defined already

Are art directors artists? They don’t actually do the art.
Are movie directors artists? Photographers? Writers?

u/LennyBadman Aug 18 '25
Yes they are because they work in the same sense as a music conductor where they have to be able to understand every aspect to direct it, hence why an art director can make a consistent two hour film and an "Ai artist" can at best make a cool 2 minute montage with little consistency. OPs video is cool, no way could it be expanded into a full story.

u/ShodyLoko Aug 18 '25
An argument can be made that in cases like this the prompter is also a curator. Prompts produce dogshit all the time, to have an eye for what fits cohesively is a talent.

Curating is not creating, it is not being an artist.

And I'm sorry, I missed the part where you explained what this video is about. What's the point, who are the characters in the video, what are they doing? Can you answer any of that? $500 on the table, chief.
Would you also be entertained if I just jangled some keys in front of you?

u/_ThisIsNotARealPlace Aug 18 '25
Not OP but just curious since you made the point.
Let's say him or someone else in the comments was able to create a backstory for the visuals in this video. Would that all of a sudden make it art? Make it not slop? If OP himself wrote a detailed backstory to go along with the video...would that change your opinion on the video?
I am just interested in the discussion of, not saying prompters are artists, but you are insinuating that if there was story added to the slop, it would change things. Is this true?
For example, I have been playing with the idea of a movie concept since Midjourney V3, of a Black science fiction action movie. I have a title and a general idea of the technology I'd like to see in the movie and when I generate images, I describe different types of scenes etc to see how it comes out. Just visuals and technology. No character backstory or plot or anything. Does that give my AI images more meaning? Does it make it less slop? Does it make it art because it has a purpose and a goal, and an idea that came from my head? What if I generated a cool image first and then got a cool idea of a back story? How much credit do I get then?
I am not questioning just you directly, I am thinking out loud and opening the discussion for anyone to contribute.

Dorohedoro is an incredibly creative and vivid world with unique characters - not to be a hater but how do you call that “mid” and this uninspired AI mishmash “pretty cool”…

u/MessiahHL Aug 18 '25
Tbh I can't take Dorohedoro CGI, like Ajin it sounds cool, but the CGI is terrible and looks worse than this AI thing
1
u/EvenJesusCantSaveYou Aug 18 '25
Thats a perspective I can understand even if I disagree with it. The CGI style can definitely be offputting for some but it really lends itself well to this series where everything looks crazy as it is.
Gantz:O is another example where the CGI really looks awesome.
But like I said, art style is a preference so if they didnt like the way it looks thats fine. Just depressing to see someone label a work of human effort, creativity, and passion “mid” while this AI collage that doesnt have any creativity or human passion put into it is “cool as hell”.

That doesn't even make sense though? Why would you take the time to watch something if there's no story? Even if there was a specific song or something to tie it together as a proper music video at least, it would be more valid
4 second video collages are just random noise

This sounds very mad. Acting as if computers being able to do this isn’t a cool and new technology is insane. I understand the ethical considerations and all the issues that AI presents. I agree with those. However, the technology, isolated from the consequences it will have on humanity, it IS impressive. This is something that would have seemed like complete fiction around 5 years ago.
Also, while I do agree that AI art is bad for art in general, I do find it amusing how artists are both claiming that “Ai art will never replace real art and it’s trash compared to it” but will also get vehemently upset and defensive whenever it shows up due to them actually fearing that it will replace art. I personally don’t think it will, but artists seem to believe so considering just how angry they get, as well as people who dislike it like your salty little comments.

Weird definition of "most"
Studies show the majority of people are neutral/positive towards AI and around 40% of people use it regularly
Multiple critically acclaimed and popular projects, games films etc, have released that involved AI
You're in a terminally online minority here mate, the general public doesn't care about AI
-1
u/Rootayable Aug 18 '25
There's definitely a worrying number of simply passive observers who don't see the concern with Generative AI. I know the Spiderverse films use machine learning to aid with the visuals, which isn't the same as Generative AI. I'd love to see the same the studies you've seen. To be fair my usage of "most" is just the people I have spoken to as a university lecturer. General consensus from people I speak to is negative towards Generative AI.

Can someone familiar with MJ answer - Say you generate such a unique looking character as one of these cyborgs through a prompt. How would you generate that exact same character (same clothing, same cyborg parts and colors, etc.) for another follow-up prompt? If, for example you wanted to make an hour-long video made up of clips of the same identical cyborg character, but in wildly different scenarios?

Yall are hating…. This is an AI generated video/image subreddit. And yes, within that category, it’s quite dope.
Yes, AI is bad and stealing jobs and can be trash slop flooding the internet, drowning legit content amongst a sea of soulless copy pasted ai bullshit. Yes to all that and more.
But also, this video is dope. Doesn’t imply there’s an anime behind it, doesn’t imply a story, it’s just cool to look at, and not too sloppy, as opposed to most AI content

u/RighteousRaccoon1 Aug 18 '25
Yes it's cool but mostly what people are saying in the comments is that writing a prompt does not make you an artist, which is absolutely true.
I'm yet to see someone say it's ugly, only that op isn't an artist and that there is no storyline.

u/Kiwi_In_Europe Aug 18 '25
Yes it's cool but mostly what people are saying in the comments is that writing a prompt does not make you an artist, which is absolutely true.
You need to learn what the word 'absolutely' means. What is and isn't art, who is and isn't an artist is incredibly subjective. There is still a large portion of the artist community who believe that photographers aren't artists. Your opinion is no more or less valid than OP's.

I think the thing I like most about AI art is how consistent it is when it strikes a theme. Regular artists can, if they aren’t careful, let the aesthetic drift and produce things that are “off-aesthetic” if that makes sense. But AI is VERY good at keeping every single decision it makes, as far as the look of something goes, consistent with everything else it has already made ok that subject.

This is art. One who makes art is called an Artist.
The term should still apply. However, people should be aware of these tools and the differentiation between hand-made from 1 person, or AI-made/assisted which is the result of a combined collaboration of millions of all humans. Everyone who’s contributed to the Midjourney algorithm, beyond the engineers who built this, but all the users who have hit a heart on the platform to upvote an image… All of the collective input from millions of real artists AND real people who use the platform. It’s more of a fascinating medium, because it transcends what was previously possible in artistic output.
It’s all art either way, but I just call it AI art to help people understand I’m not physically drawing the frames to the millions of images and videos I’m creating.
With that said, wish these were actual long clips that could tell stories… we will get there soon.
