Stand with Ukraine, Israel, Taiwan -- with democracy and civilization against tyranny and barbarism

Individualist, pro-technology, pro-democracy, anti-religion. I speak only for myself and not for any ideology, movement, or party. It has been my great good fortune to live my whole life free of "spirituality" of any kind. I believe that evidence and reason are the keys to understanding reality; that technology rather than ideology or politics has been the great liberator of humanity; and that in the long run, human intelligence is the most powerful force in the universe.
God doesn't exist
Evolution happened
Global warming is real
Homosexuality is normal
Aging is a curable disease
The election was not stolen
Everything "spiritual" is a lie
Free speech is for everybody
Humans do not have "souls"
Men can't become women
Fetuses are not persons
Words are not violence
Taiwan is a nation
Pluto is a planet

This was all new to me, and I found it fascinating to watch the video, which makes your point well. There's great artistry and skill in this work--a far cry from what would have inevitably been derivative in an AI effort.
I checked the artist's web site. As she notes that commissions are not being currently accepted, she's clearly sought-after for her talent. That's all to the good.
I have to disagree. I use AI quite a bit. This is just the labour theory of value which is nonsesne. Nobody would suggest going back to medieval agriculture would they? AI art is not a magic bullet. It just takes out a lot of grunt work.
Annie: Thanks -- I'm glad you found it interesting. I'm always in awe of people who have real artistic ability. I could never have created something like this, no matter what kind of tools I was using.
As for commissions, I'm trying to imagine what a fair price for something like this would be. I hope she's made some good money for what she does.
NickM: But "AI" "art" isn't art. There's no skill or creativity involved in just typing prompts into a computer. If you can use "AI" for generating blueprints or something like that, fine, but that's unrelated to what I'm talking about here. And the value of art has nothing to do with any economic theory.
There are some incredibly talented people out there. Not me, I cannot draw to save my life. lol
That’s beautiful. I agree that AI is not creating art.
And now Samsung has an AI phone. I really don’t want to know . . .
The AI generated art is almost like a slot machine, it’s nice if it comes out how you want but you can’t take very much credit for creating anything 🤷♂️
Perhaps you have a creative idea, but feel the need to hire an artist to get the result you envisioned. AI is the same thing, but perhaps with even more of a ‘mind of its own’, if u will
Mary K: Neither can I. So I have all the more respect for the abilities of those who can.
Bijoux: It is beautiful, even though it's basically a horror scene. Remarkable. A machine couldn't do that, except by accident. It has no sense of aesthetics; it doesn't know what it's doing.
Reaganite: Yes, a slot machine is a good analogy. It will deliver results within certain parameters, but there's no consciousness in it.
It's actually machines that don't have minds of their own, which is why it's not legitimate to call this "artificial intelligence" (we may someday develop real artificial intelligence, but right now nobody has even the foggiest idea where to start or how it might work) or the output of it "art". A product of mindless forces like a beach or a mountain may even be judged beautiful, but we don't call it art.
If I had money I probably would hire an artist occasionally to realize some vision. It can be fascinating to see what they come up with.
