What impacts are AI generated media having on art?
Goots comes to mind as a prominent meme that was supposedly AI generated, are there any others and are there any larger patterns?
Are there types of ideas or feelings that are better expressed by the distorted images sometimes generated by such algorithms? (the "name one thing in this photo" meme comes to mind)
Also, bit of a rant ig,
There is a tendency for old media (as in old mediums) to be used as templates for nostalgia purposes by simulating their distinguishing artifacts or imperfections as a way of symbolizing the time period the medium was most prominent during. Is AI generated art likely to become prominent enough for its own quirks to be used to signal a particular time period? For example, its tendency to be able to recognize and create textures better than recognizing and generating accurate shapes, in many cases. What other impacts is it likely to have?
