But fact is “I hate AI art because it’s bad art” just doesn’t really make sense anymore.

No, it's because it isn't art.

Good luck with that.

Define art for me?

[–] zarkanian@sh.itjust.works 0 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I don't have to. Wikipedia has a good enough definition:

Art is a diverse range of cultural activity centered around works utilizing creative or imaginative talents, which are expected to evoke a worthwhile experience, generally through an expression of emotional power, conceptual ideas, technical proficiency, or beauty.

An LLM generating output isn't "cultural activity" no matter how much that concept could be tortured, and it doesn't have "creative or imaginative talents", because it isn't sapient or sentient.
