Another r/aiwars post argues against AI-generated images as art from the angle of “personhood,” saying human artists’ experiences seep into the details, while AI users mainly provide content and style prompts, so the work lacks a true authorial imprint.
Original sourcer/aiwars argues again over the definition of AI Art: the poster says AI Art can of course count as Art, and creators can be called Artists, but that does not mean the work is high quality or that people cannot dislike it. The post is popular because concepts and value judgments are being mixed together.
Original sourceThe post uses estimates to argue that one AI-generated image consumes less electricity than playing a modern video game, rebutting claims that AI image generation wastes energy. The heat comes from redirecting environmental criticism toward gamers, triggering a clash of positions.
Original sourceA r/aiwars poster questions why the anti-AI side treats “putting in a lot of effort” as a requirement for something to count as art, citing photography and minimalist painting as examples, and argues that time spent should not determine artistic value. The post is popular because it hits the core divide between AI-generated content and traditional standards for evaluating creation.
Original sourceThe poster writes on aiwars that Pro-AI has long since won the debate, arguing that in 2023/2024 opponents said AI would hit a wall, but development did not stop. He criticizes the anti side for constantly moving the goalposts, sparking arguments over AI progress, standards for debate, and the purpose of the community.
