art requires some form of effort, AI "art" does not have that

Now explain that to people who brainstorm for hours on a prompt to put into AI to create something lol. Both parties make an effort wether it's physical or mental to create something /s although without AI the range in art is quite limitless and you don't have any boundaries so it's more preferred and logical. I never used AI but I could make up why people would use it for, because you need to have a serious talent and experience to turn it into perfection but i do agree that, ai should not count as art or such

To put it simply. I do use AI and I do prompt, but I don't consider any of it art.
About Prompting, i think that's more like learning to speak a couple of words in Chinese to order some fancy food in a foreign restaurant. You (may) get a more complex and peculiar food of many others, but that doesn't make you a cook.

sure thing ill do.

typing a few prompts is no effort. you literally just type what you want, then just slightly adjust your prompt. it doesn't even take me 5 minutes to achieve a satisfactory result, and not even 10 to get exactly what i want. you may generate to your hearts content but dont call it art. and especially dont call it "my art".

It was a sarcasm, I thought people would get it because of the “lol” — my bad. All I was trying to say is, to me, using AI without putting in real effort, time, or actual skill doesn’t feel like art. If anyone can just type a few words and get results instantly, then it loses meaning. That’s not creativity, that’s convenience. And yeah, I get that it can still look good — but calling it “your art do also just doesn’t sit right with me too.

my fault chief, i think i have been scrolling too much tiktok lately and forgot that some people are actually capable of joking.

I don't think that's quite the right analogy. You're not talking to humans to get your images. You are using a tool that's designed to generate images from written language.

A better analogy would be an invention of a mechanical cook. While it will sometimes make edible food if you just give it regular language instructions, to get something truly tasty and interesting out of it you need to learn how it works and even understand its inner functioning. And while doing that may or may not make you "a cook", it does give you the ability to produce new interesting food and share it with others, which is useful&cool in its own right.

Given how vague most definitions of "art" are, I feel like we can call some AI-generated stuff a form of art (but that's not a strong opinion of mine). I don't think we should gatekeep what "art" is - if it allows you to express your emotions and feelings and share it with others, I say why not call it "art"? It's definitely not the same as painting or drawing or photography, but it can produce interesting and/or aesthetically pleasing results, and the results improve with skill.
