@zalcarik@mastodon.social @Manigarm@mastodon.social Yes, I think photography is a good example. When I make a photograph (and I use the word "make" quite deliberately instead of "take"), I'm trying to produce art. We can argue about whether it's good art or bad, but there's no longer any serious question, here in the 21st century, done with intention, that photographs can be art.
Why is selecting the input and curating the output of an AI system any different?

@zalcarik@mastodon.social @Manigarm@mastodon.social @mattblaze@federate.social because the input sources are different - with a camera, you have to find or make something to aim the camera at; with AI generation, you’re amalgamating the set of training images (which were already found and/or made by other people). If you want to treat them similarly, AI generation should follow the same rules about including others’ work in the training set, and at best we don’t have documentation of that being the case
