Certainly there is some impressive art being created, but the vast majority is uninspired and just kind of silly. Look up #aiart on Twitter as an example.

TBH, the vast majority of most art looks uninspired - Sturgeon's Law applies to everything. Looking at the tag on Twitter or Instagram, a lot of AI art already looks better (or at least not much worse) than what you would find on Artgram[0] or Cara.app[1] (which I picked as communities which have banned AI art altogether) and certainly not "abysmal."

...counting fingers notwithstanding. And how much of AI art is anime porn. So, so much anime porn. So many Asukas JFC.

The argument that the quality of AI art is categorically worse than non-AI art is starting to come off as copium, TBH. Like, it isn't. If it were, no one would be worried about it.

But does anyone consider Artgram or Cara to be "good" art? This looks mediocre, I agree, but I don't think anyone thinks it isn't.

Also, I never made the argument that it will be categorically worse, merely that it being AI is not significant enough by itself to replace highly talented artists.
