Redditors Vent and Complain When People Mock Their "AI Art" (futurism.com)

Setting aside the usual arguments on the anti- and pro-AI art debate and the nature of creativity itself, perhaps the negative reaction that the Redditor encountered is part of a sea change in opinion among many people that think corporate AI platforms are exploitive and extractive in nature because their datasets rely on copyrighted material without the original artists' permission. And that's without getting into AI's negative drag on the environment.

So long as it's "look what I got the thing to do" and not "look what I did," go hog wild.

This whole ordeal will be less silly as the tools become about turning sketches into renders, rather than vaguely describing things into existence. Abundant harsh criticism is heaped upon people who just enter their interests and think that makes them an artist. Nah. You're using a search engine for the sum of what other people did. Creativity is eminently possible using that immense resource - but if your contribution was a sentence and some numbers, who gives a shit?
