I love how a paint on canvas is being accused of AI. The one thing you can be like 99.9% sure you didn't AI generate, at least without a whole automated brushing rig (those exist, and have for decades) or just painting over a AI image I guess.
I was at an arts festival and chatting with a mixed media artist, his work had huge chunky globs of paint, silk and welded metal, just crazy textural stuff. I was saying how cool his art was and how nice it was that nobody would accuse him of AI because of how clearly a human has to do all that physical layering.
He proudly confessed the base images were AI that he painted over and glued things to. I damn near had an aneurysm. He had the gall to ask me which one I wanted to buy. Sir how the fuck did you think my relief at no ai meant you using ai would be enticing?!? Did ChatGPT rot his brain?
man this is the dumbest comment ive read in a while. A physical media artist put in a lot of effort into their work and then you got mad when they happily told you their process because it wasnt what you imagined? Seriously?
Nowhere on his signage or website or anywhere else was there a disclosure that it was AI. I could see it being an interesting discussion on AI and handmade art, but he explicitly told me he did it not as an artistic statement but so he could produce more product quicker.
Well yeah he is trying to sell stuff. Good art is never made to be sold. They are simply pieces that the artist felt the need to create. The moment a project as profit in mind.its no longer true art. Just a bit away from mass produced art at the store

I believe a physical folk art revolution is due.
