Reading your comment I had to think of that tweet about someone taking a part of a Monet painting and claimed it was AI generated, and people immediately started calling it horrible and soulless and smelling like AI.

Obviously. Artistic value is not in the object, but in the relationships to other humans. The point is not Monet but the people you discuss Monet with. Monet is a tribal rallying point you can synchronize around. AI is not as good for this, because it's cheap. It's not scarce enough. And doesn't offer a human story you can bond around.

Well this is no Monet for sure.

Humans are capable of producing slop too. Maybe the cutout does look like AI. Given Monet's blurry style and repetitive content (he made 250 water lily paintings), this is not surprising. When you strip the cutout of its context, it can look more like AI too because the lighting and composition will look arbitraty compared to the whole picture.

Btw, if websites would only include the frontend dev's own hand painted images, we would also revolt at the sight of human slop. It's not just AI.

The whole point is that good artists are capable of producing non-slop, and to this day they're the only group of which this is reliably true.

		It is because it is an image on a screen. Water Lilies are enormous paintings. They are breathtaking in person because of their scale. Monet wouldn't be Monet if he had only produced images on a screen. Art is good or it is shit, based on personal taste. Just like food, no one can tell me what food tastes good or tastes bad. AI Art seems to produce strong emotions in people who don't go to art galleries. I love modern art, I am a huge art snob but if you want to see slop, go to any modern art gallery. Personally, I would say for my taste, at least 70% of all art at any gallery is basically shit. Like food also, the presentation matters. To believe there is no possible way to print out a 6 foot tall by 10 foot long AI generated image that would look awesome hanging in a gallery is stupid.
