    Ok yeah. That’s what they said about the hammer. It’s a disservice to the fine artisans using rocks.

        Yes they did. And all of this is the same as what was said about photography and the invention of the camera and its utilization as art.

        Photography is art. Film is art. Digital media is art. CGI is art. AI art is art.

        You may not like it. But most people didn’t like those other new forms at first either. And they stopped being afraid of change and new things and learned to love it. The same will occur here. It is inevitable and impossible to oppose or resist

        This is progress. And it will continue to accelerate regardless of whether or not you approve of it

          One of those things is not like the others. AI “art” is just feeding an AI a prompt until it spits out something you like. Some people may do a touch up to hide the hallucinations, but they aren’t actually creating the image.

            Coming up with the idea is the art, as is transposing that idea into reality. If ai can transpose your idea into reality more effectively than any other artform then it should be utilized for such purpose

              No AI will ever turn an idea into a picture better then taking pencil/paintbrush/pen in hand doing it yourself. The best you can get is “yeah that’s close enough to what I was Invisioning” the computer doesn’t know what you are thinking, and a description, no matter how in depth, can ever take what you have in mind and perfectly create it. AI is doing it’s interpretation of what you ask for. And plus, the AI isn’t an art tool, if anything, it’s the artist. The prompt whiter is just the one commissioning it.

                If you aren’t artistically talented, whether through lack of ability or through disability, then AI is significantly better at turning an idea into existing art than using a pencil/paintbrush/pen

                  Stop with the excuses. art is a skill that requires practice. if you don’t put In the practice you won’t be very good, but that doesn’t mean you can’t get good and gain that artistic ability. And go into any art community and ask about doing art with a disability. Half the artist probably have a disability. (If one has a disability the that makes it hard for them to hold a more conventional job, art can actually be a great source of income.) It may be more challenging, but with enough determination and practice, anyone can get good at art.

                  It’s not like I’m very good at art either, the best I can do is sketch simple things I can see.

                    Mechanical skill at manipulating a tool like a brush is not in any way correlated with artistic talent. Creating and imagining the meaningful concepts and transposing them into reality to convey emotional and intellectual meaning is a reflection of artistic quality. Not how good someone is at drawing. If AI can empower person’s to transposing their ideas into reality then it should be encouraged and widely adopted
