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.

      okay so AI art bad because literally every single human being is a nascent artist with the talent to make its pursuit worthwhile and has all the time in the world to devote to improvement, got it

        no, it's bad because it takes other people's art without permission and constructs something new from it with zero inspiration

            software developer that knows "machine learning" is just a name for something that takes input and lumps it together with other input

          I make shitty art, that doesn't mean I feel entitled to someone using it in like some D&D campaign with players going :awooga: "wow looks so good!" and I'm not naive enough to think that "just keep practicing" definitively equates to the development of skill for every single person on the planet

              nobody thinks this. you’re basically just making up people to argue with.

              dawg,

              Not everybody has the talent to make art that’s worth looking at

              then you work at it, it’s a skill like any other

              literally comments above this
