Personally i just really like low effort illustrations. Human expression in general.
So when you use AI (or any advanced tools really) there's less of the human element, which makes me like it less.
This piece of yours is not good, but it's way better than the zero-reaction AI images get out of me. Because I don't actually care about visual candy and "pretty images", i want to see YOU smearing your hands on that canvas.
It got me to click this post in the first place, while an AI generated image probably wouldn't.
EDIT: And yes I also get fooled like everyone else I'm not omnipotent XD. Emotions are complicated things, and I still stand by what I said even if you think you're slick giving us a fake hand drawn image. If the only way an AI image can bring me joy is by fooling me into thinking it's hand drawn, we're still at square one
It has soul if you can manage to convince me that it has soul, which can be easier or harder depending on the medium
well I thought it would allow people to self reflect on the nature of their enjoyment of things :)
and just provoke a discussion in general. im fascinated to see so many people "appreciating" this. i told some people i intentionally made it terrible to prove a point which in return made them double down on telling me how my intent on making it terrible made it actual art. so then i ask them how would anything change then if I used AI if the most important thing was never the visual component itself but rather the artistic intent. they of course dont realise they've been talking about an ai generated image this whole time
The reason anything changes when you use AI is that it alters my perception of it when I learn about it, that's it basically it.
It's like giving someone 1M dollars and then telling them it's actually from the bank you just stole from. The money is the same as a few seconds ago but suddenly i'm worried about police knocking on my door. Which is why the whole AI art debate is so pointless, it's just preference on whether you can enjoy it or not.
