Frankly I treat AI like the toy it is. I don't consider myself an artist because of what it produces. I use it because it's fun. People who demand recognition for the works done by an AI suck the fun and life out of it! As exhibited by DarkGlass when he comes in demanding you post images in a thread about discussing AI as if you can't have an intelligent discussion unless you can post pretty pictures.

I would probably agree with this at least to some extent. What impresses me is the AI tool, not the person typing the prompt. But when AI gets to the point where you can use it to tell a story, which is what really interests me, I would love to be able to make comics using it. But unfortunately, I don't think it is really there at the moment. But then again, it wouldn't be the art itself that would impress me, it would be the story told.

But I think time will tell when these tools get more developed. But at the moment at least it seems to be mostly people making "random" images and videos and having fun with that.

The chance that these AI tools keep pushing the boundary might eventually make it so none of what is created is really impressive, regardless of what it is and then it will be more about entertainment rather than art. At some point when the first few 100% AI-generated movies have been made and people are no longer impressed by them, then what we want are good stories and it will simply be expected that these movies/comics, whatever look amazing by default.
