Sharing AI Artmaker pieces and the Topic of AI Art

[nightglow]

I was playing around in this AI artmaker and some of it is actually pretty cool. I know AI art may be considered a controversial topic in the future (not sure that it is right now) I thought it was fun just to play around in. Some of the pieces didn't turn out good with this particular artmaker, but some of them I thought were pretty cool so I decided to share them here. I hope you guys share some too. The link I used is at the top inside the spoiler tag but there are multiple makers out there that exist.

Spoiler: AI art and the Link

AI artmaker link used

"Bigfoot drinking wine."

"Pixel Garden in Heaven"

"Spaceships in the Ocean"

"City made of wood."

"Shark Plants"

"Autumn Rain"

"A starry night in the woods."

"City of gold."

"Butterfly horses."

"Yoshi at war with Lugi." lol cursed yoshi image?

"Mario as a ghost."

"A sun angel."

How do you guys feel about the idea of AI making art for the future?
Whether it is some design on a shirt to a magazine cover, to website, game, and movie graphics, to art pieces to hang in your house. Buying the license to use an art piece made by AI, to owning and AI artmaker program and using it to make art assets to sell.
Some AI art pieces I have seen floating around online for advertising of AI art are very good to where you may have thought a person did it however instead of it taking a super long time to make such a piece, the AI can make it faster than any person could.
Do you think AI art could replace human art in the business world at some point or do you think they can co exist?
Do you think AI art would be an enhancement and inspiration to human artists?
AI art not art at all?

I can see it replacing human art at some point. I don’t think there’d be any hesitation either considering this is most likely cheaper and more efficient.

It starts with replacing cashiers with self checkouts. I’m pretty sure there are stores without cashiers if I’m not mistaken and it’s definitely cheaper than paying employees. You know how companies are with money.

I do like some AI-generated pieces—there's a deeply dreamlike quality to some of them that I think is difficult for our rational consciousness to recreate. I love the amalgamations of concepts and the vague forms that almost look like something, but not quite. If artists want to use AI as inspiration for their own works, I think that's even cooler and I think there's a lot of potential there for some really interesting and unique stuff.

But I don't think it's ever something that could replace human art, because I think a lot of the appeal of art comes from the deliberate, human creative process. Regardless of efficiency, there's always going to be more soul and meaning in human-created art that a computer can't generate, no matter how much material it's fed.
And that's just talking about standalone art pieces—I don't think AI art is at all practical for any form of art as storytelling. We're nowhere near a point where a computer can generate distinct, consistent character designs, in a clear style, and have them operate within a story. And if it could, I think there's even less of a guarantee that people would find it equally or more appealing than the same thing done by humans. Animation, storyboarding, illustration, character design, concept art, etc. aren't going anywhere.

I think it's cool! It reminds me a lot of Surrealist art (like Salvador Dali). I don't think it will replace "human art" though, since what humans contribute to art is purpose and emotion. I definitely can see AI art being a tool for a human artist though, and would be really excited to see what narratives can be extracted from looking at AI art.
