Stable Diffusion is a big deal

My position is perfectly logically consistent. Art is distilled human experience and human emotions emerging in a particular context after a chain of events. None of this is true of AI "art".

What is not logically consistent is to claim that a black box utilizing statistical relationships between pixels in a giant dataset is an "artist" and that its products create "value".

The compiler is not a programmer, AI can never be an artist.

The chain of events:

Step 1: Tweak settings and type text

Step 2: Look at the result

Step 3: If you like the result, go to step 4, otherwise go back to step 1.

Step 4: Save and share the result

Feels like art to me. Ultimately it's still a human using a tool to create art. For me AI art is just the name of the art style.

By that logic, a google image search + sharing results you like is also art. But it really isn't. At best it's curation.
