My opinion is that the people who dislike AI art are generally the mediocre artists who feel threatened by it. There is some damn incredible beauty to be found in AI art. The world is richer for it's existence.

Imagine you've invested all your life in becoming good at something but now the machines can do it effortlessly with a fraction of the cost.
Not only that... you see the robots' work and in your opinion it is subpar, but nobody cares, because it is good enough and has a good price/quality ratio.
So your kind gets progressively replaced by high-iq Clippy on every work that does not require top quality or design, and all of a sudden you have the pressure to compete in a shrinking pool of jobs dominated by the top % of artists.
Of course you'll be worried and hate the thing.
It is not about being mediocre, i know good artists that hate AI, I think it is more about knowing that there is always someone better than you and they will be soon looking for a job.
Also i think a lot of artists do not approach their job as a job but more as a passion or a religion, they want to do things "their right way" and they don't like to cut corners for production, so they resist or are outright hostile to adopt new tools (we've seen this in Digital art vs Traditional / all the shaming around assist and stabilization tools (that they now ALL use) etc)

The images produced by machines aren't subpar, artists are envious because AI generated graphics are way higher quality than anything most artists are capable of creating.

Just based on the sheer volume there's going to be some amazing gems in there, amazing creativity as well blending unlimited numbers of concepts together. Unfortunately it's a race to the bottom in terms of value as the internet fills with so much noise and junk.

amazing gems always emerge from so much noise and junk. Michelangelo, Da Vinci, etc. emerged from a time of large amounts of junk. But what remains over time? The gems. Same for architecture. We talk about amazing architecture used to be made but now it's not. Nah. Amazing architecture was surrounded by hovels and slums and shacks. But what remained? The gems. I think the outlook is very good and hopeful for what remains.

The only people I’ve met that hate AI art don’t hate it because it’s never beautiful. They hate it because it further commoditizes humans - which could be because they’re mediocre artists, but could also be because they prefer a world with financially successful artists in it.
I also think there are many ways to value art. Some factor in the people that made it. Some judge art on a more pure sensory level.

It doesn't commoditize humans... it commoditizes art. I think as for prefering a word with financially successful artists, 1) I think they said the same about threshers, weavers, lace makers once. 2) the people who would've done those jobs are now building other things, adding to the social infrastructure that carries onward onto more advanced things and advanced arts. And the financial success is just now available to more humans, not just ones who honed their skills. the weird thing is, all this stuff is going to apply to doctors soon, which is insane. that doctors, who spend a decade studying, will be made obsolete is just.... damn.

Art is also about personal development (i.e. observing/understanding) which AI can never replace.

But AI will be an art that will also be used for this. Like painting, photography, digital design, drawing, writing, sculpture, knitting, on and on.

100 percent! And yet I'm closer than I ever was before to expressing the sheer detail, color, beauty, complexity, and awe present in my head every night when I lucid dream. My mind is an artist, and before it was not expressible. It's much closer now. And that is incredible.

This is an image that i created using AI locally on my PC one year ago. (with A1111)
It took me hours to figure out the correct parameters, models, Loras and little tweaks that would lead to this result.
Even if I would never take credit as an "artist" for this, I really appreciate the little imperfections and I am proud to have learned the process and technical details that this technology represents.

absolutely you should take credit as an artist for this. It's not drawing, it's not painting, but it IS an art. Just a new kind, with a new name. But own it.
