I was on stable diffusion art and one of my comments got removed for saying the OP didn’t “make” the AI generated art. But he didn’t make shit the AI made it, he typed in a description and hit enter. I think we need a new word for when someone shared art an AI made, like they generated it or something. It feels insulting to actual artists to say you made art with AI
Honestly, these are both simplistic takes. Tools are tools are tools, so for better and worse there is a big gradient across “popped up a genAI and asked for an image with a prompt”>“asked a genAI for an image and then asked for changes”>“asked a gen AI for an image and then fine tuned it and tweaked it in parts to the point where, let’s be honest, this would have been faster to do in Photoshop from scratch” (which is a thing and it baffles me a little)>“made an image using some genAI content in the process”.
It’s a bit of a mess, and a good reason why to be safe for production and commercial use a lot of pro content creation places just ban the technology outright to avoid legal issues later. That’s a good call.
If you want to draw a line for amateur image sharing… I don’t know, it gets weird and complicated.
