i honestly think i will feel different about “ai art” when and if we are going to have agi and get to the point where machines that, at the level of humans, are going to effectively make art to express themselves and how they experience life

yea all this really makes me think about how in creation you should always be striving for the best and better and better and to just be like "ah well" and leave it to the Averaging Machine and then leave so much more talent growth on the floor purely because someone was too lazy
I really like your analogy with painters and photography. It's a different tool that generates somewhat similar but, at the moment, very limited results.
Maybe the AI images now are the equivalent of the early big cameras with the bellows. Marvel of technology, impractical limitations, has novelty.
Obviously this does not address the ethical issues. I'm on the side of strict AI regulation. With that said, I'm sure early photography had backlash from traditional artists, claiming that pointing and shooting had no artistry.
Traditional art survives and I don't think anyone is arguing replacing painting with photography. They coexist and evolve differently. Maybe, hopefully, that can be the case for machine-generated imagery. We already use machines to aid us in art anyway, this "AI" can be another tool in the belt.
