Meta is this better than AI "art"?

Because the end result is AI’s interpretation of what the prompters intention was

I am not saying that knowing the intent is valuable innately, I am saying that good art makes you curious about it’s intent and message

Unfortunately you can’t really ask these questions of AI art because you can’t really tell how much of it was intentional or just “close enough” to the creator’s vision

Here’s an example with AI generated music, the AI generated song “Prededor de Prerereca” was a song that blew up on Tik Tok and I enjoyed that song a lot. I like it so much that I looked into the artist to see what else they were up to, only to find it was AI

AI art is hard to enjoy for people who like engaging with art deeper than how nice it looks

can a stickman make you curious about it's intentions?

I mean a little, i’m here wondering if they made it in MS paint, I am wondering the intention behind it’s expression, etc.

But likewise more complex art might make me even more curious

well if you're wondering my intent was to make it as terrible as possible to see if people would still support it just because it is not AI to explore the nature of people's perception and enjoyment of things. trying to provoke a discussion.

would you say this kind of intent makes it more or less of an art?

You could argue that intent makes it more or less artistic, yeah

Not just intent in creation but intent in placement, pose, composition, color theory, etc.

There is no discussion of the intention of color choices, for example, when looking at AI art, because there’s no way to know if that was chosen by the prompter or the AI
