AI: Endometriosis and art
Coeur d'Alene Press | UPDATED 2 months, 4 weeks AGO
Why would anyone in his right mind accuse Mr. Baker of misogyny, art theft or posing as an artist? His statement “…it’s focused on women’s health … around endometriosis and tied to the experiences people have shared with me … through the health care system.” How is that misogynistic?
Art theft is putting your name on someone else’s art — that didn’t occur.
Posing as an artist — he created the images using AI technology. Some individuals have splashed paint on canvas, pasted wine labels on poster boards and are called “artists.” I guess it depends on what the actual definition of an artist is. Obviously, it is open to interpretation.
In response to the tattoo “artist,” when someone brings you a picture they want inked on their body, how do you give credit to the “artist” of that picture? It obviously isn’t “your” artwork, just a transfer of the picture to the skin, right? So that’s not really creating art.
If you don’t like this particular exhibit or how it was created, you don’t have to go to the gallery. But you should probably keep your comments to yourself as they are unimportant to most of us. Yes, you are entitled to your opinion, but you don’t have to burden the rest of us with that opinion.
Who better to bring this to the public’s attention than a man? There are many individuals out there who don’t believe this condition exists or that it is as debilitating as those afflicted with it can testify to. So, my wish for those individuals is one full year of the pain some women endure due to endometriosis!
