Some still thinks digital art is cheating and should not be considered art but the artisitc community have kind of accepted it and we see some big names shifting to digital art.

I like you argument that saying it is "artificial" or made up don't do justice to these brilliant tools created from the "real" intelligence of humans. So, in a way, at least for me, it is creative and solves problems that can be solved with only "intelligent" beings.

So is what it creates real, or just a derivative of what humans create?

Humans creates a lot of derivate works from others and just give it their personal touch and improve on the subject, I see something similar happening with these AI generated images. Mind you, there are already lawsuits filed against these tools and the major point of discussion is whether these works should be considered as derivative or generative?

In any case, I am in love with the technology, it has already made our lives so much easier. Like every other thing we just need to be more mindful on how we use these rather than just blaming the technology blindly.

Btw, try midjourney and you will be blown away by the results it produces.

Thanks for your comment. I love seeing comments on my posts, helps me feel motivated. (I won't be doing much commenting myself as I will wait for a post payout and kind of running low on BLURT)
