Oh the Ai art generator has no "soul" and it's soy and reddit? This precious art form (illustrating things that other people pay you to, a medium dominated almost entirely by furries, porn, and furry porn) is being destroyed by the evil AI? I'm sorry that the democratization of art creation is so upsetting to you. I've brought dozens of ideas to life by typing words into a prompt and I didn't have to pay someone $300 to do so.

        I think it's more that they think you should value the process of creating art, of which you will gain little to no understanding from typing into the DALL-E hole, but you will when you engage in your classical field of choice. imo the main argument against it is that, as a tool of automation under capital, it is built using the work of the proletariat but used to concentrate power & wealth by the bougeoisie. really not too different from the automatic loom or w/e, not ontologically evil but currently being turned against those who made it possible in the first place
