      AI art lacks one thing that human art has; purpose.
      Difficult to explain but if you really look at this picture you can make out the artist’s vision and intent behind each stroke.
      An AI model is a mish mash of everything, so the art will have an “average and soulless” undertone.

        i like to think of genAI stuff as a robot with a camera, especially with how things tend to have very very specific composition, the subject always has to go right in the middle.

          True, since the training datasets are of very specific known things, categorized in a machine-friendly way, it has a very objective, unambiguous view? If that makes sense?

          first: it looks like it’s been drawn by a skilled artist using microsoft paint.

          second: the elements in the image have a clear purpose together, like the the comedic juxtaposition of a semi-realistic “anime”-like dude and a silly duck.

          third: the image tells a story, there’s a photo of someone in the lemonade stand, who is that person? is it someone the lemonade stand guy knows, perhaps a loved one? likely another character from The Duck Song. there’s also very little money in the payment box thing, showing that this guy doesn’t get many customers.

          AI can’t get those kinds of story-based details right, specially not in image form, and specially not when it’s about a series of YouTube videos about a duck, a man, and a lemonade stand.

            Good points, you noticed things about the image that I didn’t even see, like the photograph.

            Maybe art criticism/ appreciation should be taught more in schools these days.
