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.

    Yes. All this is, IMO, is another tool. I've mentioned it in a previous thread but Pixar made a stink about motion capture tech back in the aughts. Looking back, that's silly - of course mocap doesn't make art lesser. Neither does using photoshop, or digital animation, or cameras...

      Precisely, see also the music scene in like the early 2000's when people were having strokes over music being made out of math equations.

          What I am referring to isn't the viability of Musician as an occupation, but the merits of a proposed artistic medium (electronic music via mathematical equation.)

          I don't necessarilly disagree with you, it's just a different conversation.
