Anyone else feel weird when looking at AI-generated art? (self.asklemmy)

Like. A friend-of-friends got in on Dall-E 2 and was showing some stupid shite they made with it.

And the thing is. It is impressive as hell? You give it a vague description and it will give you something that generally matches the vibe of the description. Plus looks very well rendered.

But also. Uh. It gives me these weird dystopian feelings. It being in Elongated Muskquito's pockets doesn't help with that feeling, but it's not its main cause. I can't even articulate why it makes me feel so uncomfy though. Was hoping someone smarter than I shared in the same feeling.

off-topic : Not sure you've noticed since you pasted the link, but this was actually a quote-sharing of your post. On Mastodon or Lemmy, the kind of "recycle" logo links to your post.

I do not want AI to start creating art, it just devalues art as a whole, and automates something that never should have been automated.

I actually see this as a positive development because AI will fill the niche of commercial illustration and this could lead to decommercialization of art in the long run. If AI can crap out commercial art quickly and cheaply then actual art will be done for the sake of art.

art is already super devaluated. anything mainstream in art I can't call actual art other than good production/aesthetics. So nevermind; actual artists will still do actual art while commercial artists will keep doing souless comercialized content.
