Everyone has an opinion about creativity and AI—as though it’s something new and novel.
But as long as we’re asking about whether art can be made or derived from prior works:
What about collages? What about sampling? What about quoting? What about parodying?
What about fan fiction? What about remix culture? What about mood boards?
What about works derived from public domain? What about libraries? What about spellcheck?
What about presets? What about filters? What about cameras?
No one’s opening those cans of worms. Because if they did, they’d have to admit the implications go far beyond AI.

@atomicpoet Art can be made from anything, even generative AI. But, not every human production is art
Also, I remember when I beta-tested Midjourney. I got really nice results, but nothing felt mine.
My opinion about it is that gen AI is like any medium: you need to learn how to express yourself through it.
But with AI, the superficial quality of the production hides the lack of fluency in the medium. Beginner prompter is more a client and a curator than he is an AI artist.
@atomicpoet All of those things rely on human creativity, as defined by the experience of the individual. #AI is a new and distinct category of bullshit.
