The Art of the iPhone
Entering a few key words into a text box and letting a computer that has scraped ten thousand websites for the work of other artists create to picture for you is not creativity, nor is it art. If you want to make that picture, learn how to fucking paint or spend the time to find the location and hire the models and props and shoot the picture.
Ikm also ambivalent about these AI tools, but as noted photographers said: “The new AI tools are not new in what they can do, they only do it in a faster more convenient way. We have been able to composite and collage for quite some time, as well as delete and replace items in a photo. It just took much more effort and time to do so.
The issue is whether or not a photo that has been edited is presented as such as been edited or as an unaltered one. Does the photo presenter claim that it is their photo or admit to having part of it with generated items.
This brings to my mind an art show attendee who popped his head into my booth and asked: “are these film or digital photos?” Then left in haste when I answered: “Digital”. Would the composition and artistic value been different if they had been shot on film? No.
People who get hung up on the mechanics of creativity instead of valuing it on its artistic merits will always find fault in your work and most likely have never done any themselves.
