I hate this AI shit because I always start looking at it like you'd look at art, right? What's the meaning, what's the message, what is the artists perspective and beliefs and biases, what is being conveyed, what is the artist conveying that they didn't realize they were conveying. And after my eyes go around in circles a few times I have to grab myself and say "This isn't art. This is a weighted random number output. There's nothing here. It's just noise".
Weirdly all the little "this makes no sense" and "this is just a little blur that vaguely resembles the idea of the thing it represents when not focused on" shit makes me think about how it's the sort of thing actual artists do with unimportant details or things they don't care/know about (or just with tiny details that are out of focus anyways), especially when on a deadline. Like "this makes literally no sense when looked at in detail" is basically all pop sci-fi art ever, where someone was just trying to make something that looked catchy for a pulp magazine cover or something and threw in all sorts of nonsense.
I guess what I'm saying is AI generated art is basically just channeling Rob Liefeld, except it's better at drawing hands and figures than him.
It also draws people with a couple hundred less teeth than you'd say in Liefeld artwork.
I think this is selling Liefeld short. His art definitely renders certain features (muscles, pouches, breasts) in breathtaking detail, it's just feet and eyes that he kinda doesn't care about.
That's also what the AI is good at lmao.
Just look at it and wonder what the prompt was that generated it.
its like a fun little guessing game of what the prompt was lmao like charades
