  • Hey if you don’t want to be critiqued for things you share then don’t share them. But I wouldn’t be much of an art educator if I didn’t push people to make better art. Critique is for that. I get that you view this as a simple meme, but it is emulating a specific artistic style, so I’m judging it by that criteria. You don’t have to be an art critic or trained professional to learn critique.

    I can give you a run down of why these images aren’t well executed. From the anatomy and perspective irregularities to the composition of the figures. All of that is what I’d do to a human made work anyway. Do you want me to comb through each image in that way? Maybe by doing so it can help you identify changes you can make to elevate the next AI assisted meme you create.


  • I think it’s a funny idea for a meme. Just wish it was better executed.

    I don’t think this meme is art at all.

    That’s an interesting perspective. It does, again, seem like you’re using this thought as an excuse to not engage in critique of these images, from an artistic perspective at least. I would think a photographer would understand the value of critique. But I’m not going to litigate what is art in your eyes.


  • My main contention is that AI art looks bad. I can walk you through why it looks bad if you want. But if you’re more concerned about making quick, bad-looking art for agiprop then I’m not gonna change your mind. And that’s fine.

    And listen, I’m calling it bad art because these images are bad art. Art, especially produced in a specific style like the meme you posted, actually does have to follow some rules. If it doesn’t, or doesn’t circumvent those rules in a way that communicates intentionality, then it’s just not that good. Calling these images bad art isn’t a critique of you as a person. It’s a critique of the quality of art you’ve presented.

    I’m going to kindly ask you to treat the quality of AI art with seriousness and not use the excuses like “it’s just a meme.” I come at this issue with the perspective of not only being an artist but an art educator as well. I don’t mean to presume, but from reading your comments on the matter I don’t get the impression that you’ve spoken to that many artists about their perspective on AI art. I’d be happy to discuss it with you though! Honestly I think a more art education would only serve to elevate your posts.
