I told him I'd meet him half way. And picked Not A Name, but spelled as Nadya Nayme. He agreed - as that's at least someone people could specify by name.
So I started going by Nadya where I can be and NadyaNayme anywhere it isn't.
"With good enough curation, human art isn't that bad."
Most human art is garbage as well. Nobody cares for the 300th crudely drawn Shadow the hedgehog posted to deviantArt.
AI Art has shown me that the only form of art is that if of curation. Curation itself is an art and it is what is responsible for all other art. Art does not become famous on its own - it becomes famous due to the curators who decided it should be recognized. Curation can be a solo or group act and curation is meta in that people collectively choose the curators who can influence by their curation alone.
AI art is a matter of both solo curation and collective curation. People individually curate the art they generate and will post to share the art they think is good. Many people might post junk and those people are bad at curating. Once shared with other people (curators) good AI art that people collectively like will rise to the top and the rest will sink to the bottom until a curator plucks it from the bottom of the sea. It doesn't get treated any differently than human art in that regard. It will sink or float on its own merit and sometimes just pure luck that a collector found it in the pile of junk on the floor.
Curation also is meta in that people collectively curate what they think is worthy of curation and sometimes that's a popularity game in itself whether the banana you tape to a wall is art worthy of being curated or not.
Tildes has this oddly strong anti-AI slant as of late.
