"Artist"
As a long time artist in traditional and digital mediums, I get frustrated by this attitude. Is there a reason images made with this tool are considered less "art" than Pollock or Newman? Are photographers not artists, because their medium is too easy? I admit midjourney is bottom of the barrel for AI art tools, but they obviously had an intent and goal while creating these images. While I prefer stable diffusion, as I like precise control over every aspect of my creating an image, it gets the exact same response.
When people are creating detailed interactive worlds by dictating to AI art tools, will you refute the medium at every level of complexity, effort, and intention? It's as ridiculous as when people were saying 3D art wasn't "art." Or anything made in Photoshop. Judge it how you wish as an individual piece, but don't be so dismissive of new tools. They are a part of our life and creativity now.
Damn. Shots fired.
Pun intended.
