Eh, different bubbles of people I think. My tech-loving friends (including me), aren't fan of AI art because how low effort everything is. Some funny memes, but even then you get used to them and move on. It was definitely "cool" when it came out, but if it's simple still images, icons, and etc., they're kinda meh, at least for me. What Adobe did with the rotation tool is pretty cool, and if we start seeing effects of such AI art, that would be a bit different. But again, it has to be used in a specific way to inspire anyone.

I'm actually curious what the people around you find cool about AI art. Nothing has "awed" me in the past 16 months, I would say.

“Awed” is a big word. I’ve been awed by art only a handful of times in my life. I start to see people using AI in ways I find enjoyable and interesting.

Below my fav video series that heavily uses AI (images, video, lip sync, sound). I enjoy it and I think it has artistic merit

It’s done by a single person. Individuals will be able to make stuff that needed teams and large budgets before. It will allow for much more creative risks.

It's.... awful. It's mostly just a slideshow of very AI-generated-looking art with some weird-enough looking aliens to not fall into the uncanny valley. The lip sync is not even close.

The counter point is, if it makes it so easy to make it, it’s just… meh. We get used to things extremely fast.

Even in traditional art. The Black Square was revolutionary in its specific way, but the copycats aren’t talked about.

I think the AI Seinfeld will be remembered for a while, but random spin offs will be forgotten. Just like how Twitch Plays Pokemon was huge, but follow ups got forgotten. AI art will need to find uniqueness angle at each step, because the complexity aspect will never be there.
