Prompt: Goddess statue like wearing intricately design armor and a huge spear. While sitting in the throne in a cool position, a line of knights. Advisers and mages wearing intricate clothing, and nobles kneeling toward the Goddess. The room would be gothic and futuristic with gold banners everywhere.

this encapsulates everything I dislike about AI, very well made picture tho, don't get me wrong. However it makes these high detail pictures in seconds, but it contains no meaning. You can just feel this picture having no soul. I can't really put it into words, but whenever I see art that has this much detail it's full of life, AI makes the same level of detail but without life.

I have no Idea why it's like this, but it is. I simply feel that this image is empty.

    I agree. More details and "realism" is not the same as a "good" painting/drawing. But i have seen some good ai art. This is because of the imagination of the human inputting the prompts. Ai is a tool (at least for now).

    there is for sure something about AI just being just a new "brush". For sure, but still, now a single line and a landscape takes the same effort. If someone masters prompting and maybe does some post editing, it could be just as meaningful.

    Whether it's "real art" is another topic of conversation.

    Pretty sure it's simply because you know the context of it being made by AI, and wouldn't bat an eye if it were made by a real artist

    could be subconsciously, but I'm not bsing. I truly feel this way. I can't point to a part or anything, I just feel it's empty.

    Perhaps that is to do with the meaning we ascribe the images it generates, rather than anything about the images themselves?

    For example, if your dog just died then you don't care about who assembled the pixels to make a loving memorial poster, you just care that that group of pixels means a lot to you. It can have soul if you give it soul and meaning, in my opinion.

    Imo it's similar to how artists often find a lot more meaning in their own artwork than other people do- dedicating time to produce something lets you put some of your own soul into it, even if that is only 30 minutes to generate then touch up.

    Maybe a bit of both, caz the real question is if your dog passed away, and you pay an artist to draw your dog for a memorial, but they just generate it with AI. Will it still carry the same mesaage, or feel fake?

    My take on it is that maybe in a few years they'll be indistinguishable. But as of now, I'd wager that you'd probably feel that the picture has no love in it. And as I said above I can't point it out why you'd feel that way, just intuition.
