Had a guy at the tech meetup tell me 'AI art is just fancy clip art'
This was at the monthly meetup in Phoenix about six weeks ago. We were talking about generative models, and this older developer just waved his hand and said that. He argued it was all just remixing existing images without real understanding. It stuck with me because it showed a total lack of seeing the innovation in how these systems actually learn and create new compositions. I tried to explain the training process on datasets of millions of images, but he wasn't having it. Has anyone else run into this kind of dismissive attitude from someone who should know better?
