Reply to comment by C_Hawk14 in [Discussion] If ML is based on data generated by humans, can it truly outperform humans? by groman434

I think that actually measures how good it is at getting popular on social media, which is not the same task as making good art.

There's also some backlash against AI art right now, so this might favor models that can't be distinguished from human art rather than models that are better than human art.

You make good points, but why do we humans think art is good?

Some of the current art like bananas or toilets could really have been the idea of a bot. Haha, put a banana against a wall and add some im14andthisisdeep level text about existentialism.

I did not look into it tbf, but it's kinda silly a banana on a wall could pay for a handful of students education.

The same for a toilet.. It's just a toilet.

But it's so dumb a human could have prompted an old AI to come up with something and execute it.

Good question.

Unfortunately, I have no clue what makes "good" art either. This is a pretty old problem that may not be solvable.

I think it comes down to someone besides the creator saying something is art. In before bots become Art Influencers
