My problem with AI art is not (just) the infringement and theft. My problem is that it can never be creative. It will always be derivative. Yes you can say make a picture of a tree in the style of Renoir, but it will never have its own style. It will never do something artists do all the time, start out painting one thing and have it go in a different direction, evolve into something else. AI can paint a tree in a field with clouds in the sky. It will never morph the tree into a dinosaur because it feels like it.
Then when AI art is using AI derived images as it’s source, the entropy, the noise will increase until there is nothing of value.
