RE: What's Your Stance On Generated AI Artwork? Does It Have A Place on Hive?

I'll add some thoughts here for context to others though you already know them:

My main issue with it is the lack of realising the time and effort spent in human created art versus the prompts typed into a computer that just combines existing human art to create something automatically. I think it's a bad idea to begin rewarding artifically generated content over human content due to the disparity between time, effort, and creativity spent creating something compared to typing in text. Hive is about the human behind the account, the idea of 'proof-of-brain', but if we reward AI art, does that also justify AI text?

There are also the many grey areas of artifically generated art in regards to rights. Since the art is often a combination of existing human created art, at which point does it breach copyright? Hive loves to push stock images and ensure nobody breaches copyright in photography abuse or sharing pirated material. I think we should be careful with how we perceive these creations, knowing how they're created. And we certainly shouldn't be rewarding them more than human creations.

It is also very easy to notice the mistakes compared to human art. There are forms and certain values which are evident: AI art often lacks symmetry, meaning details on one side are not equal to the other. Abstract art hides this to a higher degree given it is less about the fundamentals and more about "going wild" with colour. But still those differences are evident. As is the case with many that use these tools: they aren't artists. So they don't quite understand what to look for when faced with regular art and artifical art.

Still, I know for a fact that if I started using AI to create my posts for me, they'd be downvoted and I'd be pretty much blacklisted here in an instant.
