Reply to comment by Sieventer in What do you think of all the recent very vocal detractors of AI generated art? by razorbeamz

Being able to create art “mentally” but not having the ability to physically do so is such a ridiculous concept.

Just being able to imagine something does not make you an artist.

The physical ability to create a piece is merely one aspect of artistic production. Another important skill is the capacity for creative thought; it can be viewed as a sort of art in and of itself. So it's not a crazy idea in my opinion.

I can tell we won’t see eye to eye on this so I’m not trying to convince you or anything.

Creative thought is something essentially every human in the world has to some capacity, so sure everyone is an artist. It doesn’t make them an artist to the degree we are talking about though. I feel like the bare minimum required is being able to physically convey your idea yourself, no matter how good it bad it may be.

Asking an AI to make you something, that has been trained on millions of actual artists good images, doesn’t make you an artist in my opinion.
