I’m not even against the idea¹ of using it for some shitty clip art on your corporate presentation or whatever, but it has decoupled ‘images’ from ‘art’ and ‘meaning’. They are not artists, they are not making art.
¹the practice, however, being ecologically devastating makes it less desirable.
I’m partial to this only because AI makes my head spin. In theory, it sounds fine to include generated images in your presentation, and I’d be ok with that if it weren’t for your caveat about the environment.
Idk if anyone else has noticed or felt the same, but whenever I look at a few AI images per minute, my headspace and eyesight feel uncomfortable. I don’t know what it is. The missing intentionality, the lack of clarity in some details, the mishmash of real-world proportions with fantasy doesn’t sit right with my brain, and it makes me want to look away. It feels like mental exhaustion trying to make sense out of nonsense more often than not.
A corporate can afford artist so they should hire artists, the situation is different for private people who may not have money to hire an artist or the skill to do themselves for their need

Its extremely uncanny and kinda stupid.
But as long as i dont focus or get interested in details, it doesnt hurt physically.
Uncanny is the word. It feels like it’s going to hurt physically.

Concept applies, and you cannot get that authorized for Friday’s weekly bullshit meeting.
