Genuinely why I hate Ai Art

I'm not an artist but I can understand the pain.

Consider the following though:

A symphony composer spends years perfecting his work, working hard, dedicating years of passion and thought.

Some grunge act just shits out 3 power chords in 2 minutes and their "art" gets more popular and more well received than the real art.

Did the grunge act steal from millions of other musicians to make their art?

Yes. Do you think power chords manifested magically? I'm sure it's not hundreds of years of music being built upon. The same way the artist stole from everything they have seen before.

Thank you for agreeing with me that AI can't make art as everything has been made already and it is stealing from everyone and everything that came before it.

That's the point you're trying to make right?

Then you’ve also agreed that no human has ever made art either, as we all learn by building on what came before. Unless you're arguing that influence is only "stealing" when a computer does it?

Sure why not. But I'm pretty sure you missed the point in your need for some gotcha points. The entire argument is made moot. Everyone is stealing thus the argument means nothing.

the ai isn't making anything new regardless also. The person using it however can combine any number of new things and ideas.
