So you would say film direction is not an art form?

[-] PeriodicallyPedantic@lemmy.ca -1 points 2 months ago

I'd say it's a grey area, like AI prompting
You're not the one implementing the final result, you're just providing guidance to other(s) who produce the final piece of art.

If there is artistry in that, it seems like it'd apply equally to directing as it does to prompt engineering.

You can recognize the style of good film directors. I think it is certainly an art.

[-] PeriodicallyPedantic@lemmy.ca 0 points 2 months ago

I don't necessarily disagree.
The style of a director is the common set of guidance that they provide to the artists who do the work of making the film (eg the actors, the grips, the editors, the lighting, the markup, etc).
Likewise someone who uses AI to make art can have common things they seek in all the AI images they generate. Common things they include in their prompts to push the images to appear in a particular way.

They're not the same but there is enough commonality that criticism of one mostly applies to the other.

Therefore, AI art is art. Whether it is ethical is another story.

[-] PeriodicallyPedantic@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 months ago

AI art can be art, anything can be art. But I would say I don't consider most AI images to be art.

But the ethics of AI is a far more important discussion.

[-] criitz@reddthat.com 2 points 2 months ago

I agree. "Can be" might be a better way to put it.
