"Its proponents celebrate the chance to create the images in their head, no time or traditional skills necessary. Its critics argue that AI images lack the soul of human-made art, steal the work of other artists without permission, and take opportunities away from working artists."
"Training an AI off the work of another artist, it says, 'is like looking at someone's finished work and learning.' 'You look at other people's work all day, and learn from them for free,' the post continues. 'There's nothing wrong with that.'"
"Though the two subreddits espouse similar philosophies on AI art, r/AIWars encourages debate between the tech's supporters (known as 'pro's'), and its critics (known as 'anti's'). Meanwhile, r/DefendingAIArt flat-out bans debate."
Generative AI art applications spark significant debate between supporters who value accessibility and creative freedom, and critics who question artistic authenticity, copyright violations, and economic impact on human artists. Major brands and artists using AI-generated content face public backlash on social media. Online communities like r/DefendingAIArt and r/AIWars provide spaces for AI art enthusiasts to discuss their work and defend the technology. These subreddits differ in approach: r/AIWars facilitates debate between supporters and critics, while r/DefendingAIArt prohibits opposing viewpoints. Defenders argue that AI training resembles traditional artistic learning processes and cite dismissed copyright cases to support their position.
