    It’s almost like low quality mechanisation is something that should be resisted. I wonder where I’ve heard that before…

      I don’t know for what product that’d be desirable. What did you have in mind?

        And birthed impressionism as a result. These are tools, artists will adapt.

          And if they can’t compete with the soulless generic crap that ai spits out, they probably shouldn’t be artists

            It’s less of an issue with competing via comparisons of two, more an issue with never being seen in the first place as real works become grains of sand on beaches of generated content.

            Everyone should be an artist. It doesn’t have to be professionally but everyone should be creating something.

        Every gallery in the world did not rush out to exhibit every submitted photograph with no curation or quality filter when photography was invented

          A physical gallery has limited wall space. A website does not. Ai art should just be tagged as such, so it can be filtered

      As the photographic industry was the refuge of every would-be painter, every painter too ill-endowed or too lazy to complete his studies, this universal infatuation bore not only the mark of a blindness, an imbecility, but had also the air of a vengeance. I do not believe, or at least I do not wish to believe, in the absolute success of such a brutish conspiracy, in which, as in all others, one finds both fools and knaves; but I am convinced that the ill-applied developments of photography, like all other purely material developments of progress, have contrib­uted much to the impoverishment of the French artistic genius, which is already so scarce. It is nonetheless obvious that this industry, by invading the territories of art, has become art’s most mor­tal enemy, and that the confusion of their several func­tions prevents any of them from being properly fulfilled.

      ― Charles Baudelaire, On Photography, from The Salon of 1859

        TBF he was kind of right, if you look at the industry of wall art these days then 98% of whats on people’s walls is printed imagery and copies. Imagine if we paid a real artist directly for every one of those framed and hung works instead of giving profit to some soulless corporation to make monotony incarnate.
