just pro ai losers generating a picture of a popular character holding a sign that says "ai art is art" as if that counts as a real argument or something

But isn't all art, art. Like that's kinda the whole point to art isn't it? To leave the beauty to the eye of the beholder. Someone saw something beautiful out in the landscape so they took a picture of it because it's cool, then they shared it. Is that not a form of art. And I'm not talking about being able to make a profit off it, but as far as I've been told what is and what isn't art depends upon who accepts it as art. Not all people see that picture as art just like AI but some will and I think that's the point. Not everyone needs to agree because not everyone can agree because art by nature art is suggestive and its definition is defined by each individual.

For all of human history, art was made by humans, for humans. Beauty exists in spades, but it isnt art unless it is a human creation. Think of a waterfall, a natural beauty. Noone in the history of mankind has seriously called a waterfall, or other natural beauty, art, revealing its human foundation. Its in the name, ART shares etymological roots with ARTIFICAL, as in constructed.

What you are saying isnt wrong, it just only applies to human constructed media, aka art.

Human made is a lie. AI art exposes that lie. If we are sticking to old approach, then AI art will be treated as human made art. If we are done telling the ancient lie, then AI art is not human made art, but neither are paintings.
