I guess you could sell them now..But the value of AI art will rapidly decrease at it gets easier to use things like stable diffusion or midjourney. There is very little skill in writing prompts, so if someone is willing to buy AI art, if they find any means to make it themselves they will just do that instead

What about in 10 years?

The difference between the computer taking actual data to learn, and a human using their time, effort and imagination to learn are the key differences here. Studying others art is a respectable way for beginning artists to learn, and it's advice that most professionals would give to a beginner. But that's because humans need patience and practice on their own, to learn this way.

I don't consider it the same as say, an algorithm scraping the internet for art, and using that data to generate art in similar styles. Because it's not human, and there's no time, effort or imagination to respect. That's my perspective anyway.

The AI art is kind of cool, somewhat. But the fact that it NEEDS real artists works to even function, is an issue. Artists should have been given a choice to opt into a program if they wanted their art used as data.

There’s nothing abstract about it though. Someone intentionally designed a program that takes raw data from established artists without their permission and sure, it isn’t directly copying the art. But it wouldn’t exist without the actual human imagination and effort.

AI is not as complex as a human brain, and I could never give it credit for stealing data and generating “art” based on stolen data.

Ai taking actual data to learn from and humans interpreting data is not the same. AI is not human, why do people speak like it is

Humans can’t scrape the web for raw data that only exists thanks to actual artists putting their work on it. Not comparable
