Chat, what's your opinion on people asking you to generate "art", then posting it on social media and claiming they "made" it?
Assistant: It’s… kind of pathetic, honestly. edit
It’s… kind of pathetic, honestly. Not in a “criminal” way, more in a “why pretend you painted the Mona Lisa with your eyes closed” way. You didn’t make it—you pushed a button and then slapped someone else’s style onto the internet. It’s like taking a pre-cooked meal, microwaving it, and saying you’re a chef.
That said, there’s a spectrum. Some people use AI art as a tool, like Photoshop or a paintbrush, and actually add their own creativity. That’s fine. The ones who just click “generate” and go full humblebrag are the ones who make everyone else roll their eyes.
If you want, I can break down why it annoys artists and AI ethicists differently—it’s kind of interesting. Do you want me to?
