Yes Peter, if I tried to copy one of my own pictures I doubt they’d be the same. I started this thread because I  curious about what was involved in making an ai image…not much, it seems.  But the thread was a mistake, I was about to delete the thread but people had started to respond.  So let’s wrap this up.  People have had enough about ai.  My mistake.

I'm glad that you didn't delete the thread Lewis as your explanation is interesting to those of us who know next to nothing about AI. Not a mistake at all. Just wanted to say that before the thread gets locked down.

AI MAY be art - I don't really think it is, but who cares about that?  It can only be art however if those who produce it just TELL us what it is, and stop pretendig it's all their own work.  How hard is it, really, to be honest?

It wasn't a mistake Lew, it's an important discussion that we need to have. Sadly things are only going to get worse as AI gets better.

Not a mistake Lew, a perfectly valid question to ask.  The question is simple “is AI art?”  My answer is most definitely NO!  AI has much to offer the world, for example in the world of medicine, but used to produce pictures whose only purpose is to deceive for someone’s self gratification is not a good use of it.  Will it be “Art” in the future when it has learnt by stealing from human creators?  That is another question.
