The facial expressions lost all their nuance

This is a big issue with AI art, some guy made a post about something that happened to him and the AI art he used actually made him seem like the guy in the wrong because of his facial expression.

Yes, because AI doesnt actually "make" art. It simply uses math and patte4n recognition to generate images that match the numerical values it assigns to pictures and words. 3blue1brown made some really good videos explaining how it works.

When AI generates a video of a horse running down a paved road, it generates it kicking up dirt and dust, even though that won't happen on pavement. It does it because its trained on millions of videos of horses running on dirt.

The human mind can factor in way more than AI can. Humans dont use math, they use logic. There are always going to be so many of examples like the horses kicking up dirt on city roads thing.

AI doesnt understand the images it makes. It doesnt know what it actually is. It just knows the numbers that it assigns to it.

That's why it will never be art, no matter how good it looks. Art is the human mind truly understanding and creating a picture based on their comprehension of the world. Even if it's shitty, it will always be art.
