Cafe at Night is 100% more interesting when you know that they kicked van gough out and refused to serve him and he retaliated by painting it with most of its tables empty.
One positive thing that came out of ai art is that it made me appreciate human art even more.
that last painting grounded me pretty often from panic attacks 5 or so years ago. I had a panic attack almost every time I went to my psychologist appointment and talked through my problems. A print of this painting was hanging on the wall and I often got told during the panic attacks to notice 5 things in the painting. Could be anything. Not only was it really helpful, but it was a really pretty artwork in and of itself.
The brush strokes, how the paint ages, the cohesiveness, all things AI cant quite get
To me, the process itself of making art and throwing in real emotions is the most important parts, so thank you for this.
I never was that deep into art but you just gave me more reasons to appreciate art and artists. Also, why are there so many bots spamming nonsense!?
The oldest drawing I own (of mine) was from when I was 3 years old. It’s me and my best friend playing on a playground. It’s just us and a very tall playscape, all drawn in wobbly marker lines. It’s not a complicated picture, but that’s how I saw the world back then. All that mattered in that moment was my best friend and playing on the playground behind the daycare. Now, the creases from it being folded up all these years are so old they’re tearing the paper, but the drawing continues to tell a story of friendship and childish joy. As a three-year-old, that drawing was a reflection of my world. That drawing and every other since then has come out of a small part of myself. That’s something AI will never grasp. They can feed as many images into their algorithms as they want. A machine will never be able to connect a stroke of color to an experience. There’s no thoughts behind an AI generated image. There’s only lines of code.
i love this so much. one of the things i noticed once generative ai art started to get popular was that when trying to sus out if a piece is ai, i started to notice and appreciate the artist's personal interpretation of a subject (color choice, lighting, framing) and ESPECIALLY where they placed their individual brush strokes. LOTS of my favorite artists, including ones i knew for a fact were not ai artists, suddenly became my go to references for my own art. i could literally dissect how that artist created a piece in a way i would then try to incorporate into my own art. freakin' love art so much. generative ai will overtake commercial use and continue to take, take, take. it's going to keep looking more realistic, but it's never going to go through the same work and time and love that an artist commits to their work.
The ladies have an air of severity to them: stern, silently looking at the viewer, but also dignified, one of them flashes a half smile to show that while these women were very powerful and held so many matters seriously in their hands, they still kept a layer of emotional connection that only Frans and a few others knew. Edit: Only fans with the grannies Edit 2: AI peasants talking about writing this as a prompt for AI. How about i give you a prompt to generate your mom instead?
a copy of that van gogh night painting always held above my parents bed. i'm really nostalgic for it.
Art and artists are a blessing for humanity. Thank to all artists out there still doing real art!
"What this one lacks is..." a person putting time and effort into it
You’re absolutely right. A huge part of the enjoyment of art is in trying to understand the artist through their artistic choices. AI cannot replicate that. Not genuinely.
I will NEVER accept A.I. image generation as a replacement for actual art & artists. This is the hill I will forever die on
The painting of a lute player you showed as an example of Frans Hals’ work was actually painted by Judith Leyster. Historians originally attributed it to him, but it was later credited to Leyster in the 1970s.
It almost looks like that, what's really important in art, is the feeling and intentions of the artist, instead of "perfect artistic skills". WHO COULD HAVE GUESSED THAT
To make what you've said short: Art is the reflection of the world through the conciousness of the artist. AI not only doesn't have conciousness, it can't even experience the outside world. AI creates something you can call a kaleidoscope made from other art, created by humans.
Basically, what A.I. will always lack, is CONTEXT, which is key in tons of artists movements, artstyles, art eras, methods, to the stories and people they portrayed. Yes, ai can make "perfect" art at a glance, but does it have a background? Does it have intention? Does it have an intimate relationship with what is displayed in the artwork? No. The answer is always no. And that's why it's souless. It lacks ✨CONTEXT✨ Which is what makes these pieces amazing and more special.
Many art pieces have so much emotion and detail that AI cant even dream of making them
