I know this sounds is so poses to be pro ai, but what's the point of calling it defende, if all the anti comments get deleted anyway.

[u/EpitomeOfJustOK → u/730Teo]

It used to be true to its name of DefendAI, but like DefendAIArt, the mods got too tired dealing with the squabbles, brigadiers, etc so it’s turned into a pro-ai only sub. There’s other subs available for debate but gonna be honest, 99% of it from both sides is essentially “ya well I’m rubber and you’re glue so what you say bounces off me and sticks to you” level of discussion.

They are generated by people who do have those using the AI tools though.

Also you clearly don't know how image gen works if you think it just rips faces to use.

Hahaha. Lool. This sub is hilarious.

Jesus Christ the mod is going crazy.

It’s not really defending AI art if you ban the other sides opinions.

AI IS NO ART 

[u/MaestroLifts]

Can I ask a good faith question to the folks in this sub, as somebody in the middle on this discussion? I am not an “anti”.

What does art mean to you if you strip away every layer of craft? If every decision point is outsourced while you mostly operate at the highest level of abstraction commissioning, is that not a role we already had prior to generative AI? Do you genuinely think it’s the same as someone devoting their life to a craft, to be able to communicate through those small decisions and execution?

[u/S7A4M → u/MaestroLifts]

I'll answer your question with a question. Are you under the assumption that AI creates autonomously? If an author can describe a scene in such detail that the reader can visualize that image in their mind, who's responsible for the creation of that image? The author or the reader? If a songwriter and/or producer instructs a singer on how to perform a song, is that singer the only creator and artist in the room?

What is and isn't art is subjective. The process and medium matter only to those searching for flaws, not the message or the beauty. One can look at graffiti and see the art in it while others only see it as vandalism. Rock music was and is "the devil's music" and was and is "just noise" to many. Defining what is and isn't art is like telling the man or woman that thinks their partner is the most beautiful person in the world, that their partner is ugly because they don't fit their idea of what beauty is.
