    i won’t, but art has intent. AI doesn’t.

    Pollock’s paintings are art. a bunch of paint buckets falling on a canvas in an earthquake wouldn’t make art, even if it resembled Pollock’s paintings. there’s no intent behind it. no artist.

      The intent comes from the person who writes the prompt and selects/refines the most fitting image it makes

        that’s like me intending for it to rain and when it eventually would, claiming i made it rain because i intended for it.

          Yes, but where do you draw a line in AI of having an intent. Surely AGI has intent but you say current AIs do not.

            yes because there is no intelligence. AI is a misnomer. intent needs intelligence.

              How can you tell there is no intelligence? If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck and quacks like a duck, why is it not a duck?

                because if you teach me to pronounce some japanese words without teaching me what it means, i may say them perfectly, and even trick some people who don’t see my face into thinking I’m speaking native japanese, even though i don’t know what the fuck I’m saying. the fact that i tricked some people into thinking otherwise does not make me a japanese person.
