This is just the modern equivalent of whip makers or ice companies raging against progress that makes them obsolete.
Except for fine art, most "consumers" of art couldn't care less where it originated. Do you think anyone knows who drew the Star Wars poster you see in every Walmart's poster rack?(except maybe a Star Wars Super fan)
AI art has the potential to revolutionize all of the shitty work-a-day art we encounter in our daily lives, such as illustrations in manuals, box art on products, etc.
Only true artist are the ones that draw on caves using crushed up plants or feces. How dare all those others use stuff like computer or pens and paper, THOSE AREN'T REAL ARTISTS !!!!!!
I still don't follow what you mean by "trace"(I know what tracing is in art). I've been playing around extensively with AI art and already read up on it. It works by training on images it's being fed, breaking down elements on images and seeing what it can make with it. At max what has happened here might be image2image, aka put an image in and it will iterate on the image. If you put in an image like some idiot, iterate a couple times on it then it clearly is the same, I'd guess that is what you mean by tracing, right?
This was done in a non-normal way though, usually you'd start with a prompt, not with an image but I don't know where the images come from in general, maybe as a proof of concept shown what it can do but I wouldn't know. I've done something similar with my own art where I put it into the AI, still give it a somewhat similar prompt and making different versions of it, but you could still see it was somewhat mine.

I prefer REAL ART.
What they aren't talking about is how it looks like hacks are using the algorithms to trace.
Wdym? Could you elaborate?
If you look at the images you can clearly see the algorithms are clearly being used to trace.

What I obviously meant was that they fed the original image into the algorithm so it can trace it into something else.
