I hate how the AI art wave has resulted in totally unfair scrutiny on artists doing honest work. The original images were digitally recreated by the artist, with backgrounds filled to take up the rest of the card frame.
Art may still look "weird" to you, but calling it AI is a real accusation.
Is it not the job of the consumer to scrutinize the product they are looking to purchase/consume?
With AI art being rampant I see it as a necessary question we need to bring to the table whenever we observe new art. Especially from those who we know can benefit from using those tools.
It feels like going to a restaurant, eating a below-average hamburger, and posting "I think they might be putting sawdust in the burger meat" as a review.
It's like art just can't be odd/flawed/not-appealing anymore, we have to go defcon 5 and say "maybe a robot did this". Hate it!
The rampant *accusations* of artists using AI art has led a lot of visual artists needing to waste time producing and posting their process just to prove to keyboard warriors that they're doing legitimate work. That they're not plagiarists. I'm not an artist myself, but I've heard it's exhausting.
I agree that the new world of AI art should make us more vigilant of when and how it's being used.
I just think it's sad that, a few years ago, your reaction would have been: "This Squidward art looks weird for some reason." But today, you jump to suggesting that the artist is a fraud. Huge diff.
