I feel like pointing out that MAKING an AI art generating program, which is what the competition is about, is a lot MORE effort than taking a photograph.

[@JosephDalrymple]

The judges and organization also appreciated the gesture and took it well, stating, "We agree that it is an important, relevant and timely statement."

[@VitaeLibra]

Damn. What?!? Based AI bros??? I've never heard of that

[@doublereel-real]

​@VitaeLibra probably because these aren't people in big tech or whatever, these competitions are held by actual artists interested in art as a tool for artists. In art academia there is a group of artists who view ai in a similar vein to photography vs realistic art, as a new way to express an idea with it's own ups and downs. Regardless of whether or not you agree with them, they do exist.

[@Trees4454]

​I'm fairly certain the joke was that those are words overused by AI... Not that they actually said that.

[@vlk-frtz3296]

they said that just to make emselves look not too bad

[@JosephDalrymple]

@@vlk-frtz3296 It's more likely that the facilitators of the contest are partial to photography. They probably primarily facilitate real photography contests, so it would be in-line with their preference for real photography over AI art.

You dont do the cooking, you dont curate /design the dish. You just input a request, or series of requests, and the AI fullfills it to the best of its ability, and even then its just matching patterns, not depicting anything specific. Even photography is still art bc the artist is the one making the decisions on the angle the subject, lighting, the pose (if they direct the subject) and the dimensions and processing of the image.

[@kianfm1385]

I still can't believe we're calling AI generated images "art"

[@doublereel-real]

It's probably because: 1. The term caught on, and it is descriptive to what it is well enough. 2. Art is not some defined term, you cannot define a descriptor by what that descriptor does not extend to. Art as a word is used to describe pretty much any kind of image at this point, in other words, art vs 'Art'. 3. It's much less effort than saying "image generated by a generative ai."

[@spike-the-red-king]

@kianfm1385 Anyone with this mentality is an idiot. The most basic answer is that it is a very easy thing to say instead of having to say something along the lines of "images generated by AI" everytime. The other answer is that "art" is used as a term for images that aren't depicting real life, which AI can and does pretty decently. I wouldnt use "art" for images of AI generated realistic photos, but of the drawn or 3D (models and whatnot) images that ai can also make.
