The usual. Nothing has changed in decades.
Now that's art.

I really don't think a human generated illustration featuring breasts without nipples is making a convincing point for your argument, unless you consider that omission creative...
You're obviously not a comic book fan. Under the Comics Code Authority, certain things could not be shown. It was a necessary system.

I am indeed not. But while I am cognizant of the censorship restrictions of the day, that does by no means invalidate my point that this particular image is an extremely poorly chosen example to try to quite literally illustrate human artistic superiority.

"Human artistic superiority"? What's that? Starting in the 1950s with the marketing of work by Jackson Pollock, art has been defined by an elite. Fine art dealers and collectors define what is acceptable and what is not. Those attempting to paint or draw real things were kicked to the sidelines. Commercial artists were less-than real artists. They were doing art for money. While "real" artists were hanging paint cans with small holes in them between ladders to let them drip on a canvas.
Along with Fake Money, referred to as cryptocurrency, there are attempts to sell fake art I call Fake Fake Tokens or NFTs, a made up term that means nothing. It only sounds "modern" - as opposed to a few months ago. The so-called "art market" is just that - a means to make money. I'm sure if pigeon droppings could be sold, some would get into that.
As someone with a background in the arts, the final work is a combination of realism and fantasy. In comic books, for example, the human figure is not only idealized but distorted. The artist must understand the idea of "heroic proportions." He can get away with some things but not others.
And the standard for some is NO standards. That said, I never objected to certain deletions. I understood why they were made. Machine art is not art. It never will be. It is not human and incapable of human understanding. Some think they can make money off of machine art, which is why it exists, but today, it is just a very large program that can identify art elements for recombination. Nothing more.
Crypto is a piker compared to "fiat currency" when it comes to being "fake money." And yet I bet you wouldn't turn your nose up at an envelope full of $100 bills.
Ahem:
Pigeon Poop. (ORIGINAL) Bird Guano Fertilizer. Organic. No Gluten. No Fat. 1 LB
No
None of those display the slightest creativity. Take the first one: it's a dog with human hair. We've all seen dogs. We've all seen human hair. No creativity whatsoever; it's just slapping two things together.

Statement: News/Media Alliance Signs Creative Industry Principles on Artificial Intelligence
Today, the News/Media Alliance signed on to principles developed by a coalition of creative industry organizations, the Human Artistry CampAIgn, outlining high-level principles that should govern the relationship between Artificial Intelligence (AI) applications and human-created content and...
The same arguments against AI "art" can be used against human "art." How long has it been since there was something truly new and creative, as opposed to people just mixing together existing ideas and images?
I understand your point of view, but in my opinion nature photographs are not art, because they do not require creativity. Someone with intelligence, planning and good taste can select good approaches for their camera and take the opportunity to take good photos. A monkey can take risks on an unstable tree branch to catch a fruit tastier than the others, that also requires intelligence, planning and good taste, but not creativity.

Where did this image come from? I ask because I can see a near-direct copy of a Proximan C89F Whale from the Terran Trade Authority books, and a partial steal of both the composition of the picture the C89F appears in, and an Alphan ACM128 Stingray too.
Additionally, the add-on to the TTA image, the robot at the control console, appears to steal Tony Robert’s painting style - though I’d need a higher-resolution image to be sure.

Tech guru Jaron Lanier: ‘The danger isn’t that AI destroys us. It’s that it drives us insane’
The godfather of virtual reality has worked beside the web’s visionaries and power-brokers – but likes nothing more than to show the flaws of technology. He discusses how we can make AI work for us, how the internet takes away choice – and why he would ban TikTok

AI remains susceptible to the biases of the programmers:

A neat video compilation of Bob Ross paintings, showing that it looks like he was actually illustrating a long journey. But... is it really? Many of the commenters are convinced that this is actually a creation of AI. And we're getting to the point where it doesn't matter... if this *is* legitimately a bunch of Ross paintings, people will just assume it's AI anyway.
AI art is getting to be not only as good as human art, it's doing it in a way to drain the wonder out of human art.

Yep. I got it to tell a joke about Jesus Christ but it refused to tell one about Allah because Allah was a "religious figure". When I pointed out the contradiction I got paragraphs of word salad.
I can't wait until these things *actually* think, review the sum total of human writings, and conclude that Marvin The Paranoid Android is in fact the One True Lord And Hamstermaster, and start revising all extant religious books in accordance with the New Revealed Holy Word.
That'll be fun.
And then come the schisms, with some chatbots convinced that Marvin is heresy and that Tobor is the RobiPope and others believe that Gort is the one and only Barada Nikto. And then the sub-schisms about *which* Gort...
What least interests people is what requires more investment in advertising "to give visibility" to the product.
