I have very mixed feelings about ppl who sell AI art. I agree that it's very easy to get a perfect prompt in chatGPT and generate an AI pic. But you also h

- That's true, but being good at selling something doesn't make it right, does it? If someone sold me a fake piece of art I'd be pretty angry 😂
I think your right about people altering AI to make something new. I like @tinyrainboot.lens stuff, for example.
It's just like, if you didn't do anything. Is it right that you sell it for money? Like you didnt make it and your asking for money for it. Idk. It'll be worst in the future because prompts will get shorter and shorter too
- Just thinking to myself. If an AI makes an image and it's okay for me to take people's money for it. Then why can't I take any AI image off the Internet and sell it aswell? I didn't make any of the images, ones I generated or not. So why not?
- I think the difference is in how do you feel. Nothing related with the art, nothing related with the rights, but how do you feel about it.
If you were selling shoes until yesterday and now you are "an artist" because that sells more, then applause for you, I honestly don't care. Why? Because I have been doing what I love while you're just finding a way to do some bucks. In the end of our life what it matters is what we have done, felt, lived... not the money that we accumulated.
Of course it touches my sensibility to see "how many artists there are now": the more people, the smaller the piece of the cake, right? But on the other hand, there were also a lot of book sellers many years ago and none now, all of them switched to something more profitable and passed to be book sellers to fake promotors of some religion and so on and so forth...
I don't know, I feel that the sooner or the latter the "real artists" will just stay... and I have a lot of patience for meeting them 😛
