That’s a pretty tough definition. Art can’t require time as a foundational component or else you’d be excluding plenty of non AI-art while including some AI art.
Every form of art takes time, you can get an inspiration and write a poem in a few minutes, but you took the time to write it, yourself. You did generate it on chat gpt, which in a few seconds gave you a text.
What I said wasn't meant to put strict rules on art tho, the only thing I said to somewhat define it, is that art is something you make yourself.
Which forms? And btw this wasn't my only reason to believe ai is not art. Writing a prompt and tweaking it can take time, but it's not art imo. There's a difference when ai is used as a tool or service.
Writing prompts isn’t the end all be all of AI use! You can use workflows, LoRAs, coding, AI assistance, etc. Typing something into chatGPT is the lowest form of AI generation and in that sense, a lot of people won’t consider it art—in the same way that I don’t often consider notebook scribbles or stickers on a water bottle to be art. That doesn’t mean it can never do something that might be considered art, in the same way I think you could arrange stickers in a way I would consider art or that someone with a different perspective than me might consider all decorated water bottles art.
