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.
Typing a prompt into an AI isn't doing art. People were always able to give prompts to artists.
I really don't care about what is or isn't art. If people see value in it, it literally doesn't matter what you think. Plus, its rare that anyone gets anything interesting out of a single prompt. Go type in 'hands' in any generator and take a look at the eldritch shit that it spews.
Some people might not be old enough to remember this but when photoshop first came out all the artists were up in arms and were saying digital art wasn't art. Its a reactionary statement, and now its the most common form of art.
