"AI art is better than human art!" That's because, genius, AI always steals from the most technically skilled artists on the internet.
Bad human art exists. We know that. AI bros know that we know that.
We also know that it was human artists who created the most beautiful art pieces in history (both modern and classic). Prior to AI, there were already millions of them on the internet.
If it weren't for all those human-created art pieces, generative AI wouldn't be able to produce "quality" images in the first place.
AI is trained specifically to rip off the most popular and "aesthetically pleasing" human-created art that was shared on the internet before 2022.
That's why we see variations in quality when it comes to human art while AI slop has that stagnant "technically good" (creepiness aside) look to it.
But do AI bros understand or care about how generative AI works? No, of course not. They'll keep grasping at the "banana taped to the wall" straw anyway.
