    Creativity isn’t the same thing as drawing or painting or whatever. Being mechanically gifted at manipulating an instrument to produce certain output isn’t reflective of one’s creativity. There are plenty of very creative people who are bad at drawing etc. Ai art empowers those people to transform their ideas into reality

      Now you are just arguing in circles. All it takes is practice. And if they truly don’t want to do the work themselves, working with an artist can be a very rewording experience. Will hiring an artist cost money? Yes, but then you get to directly support the people making your idea come to fruition. Instead of using AI that steals those artists work to train it’s algorithm and does nothing to support artist.

        But being able to mechanically draw well doesn’t make you an artist. Imagining the ideas and transposing those ideas into reality makes you an artist. Which AI enables people to do

        High technical skill in utilizing writing/drawing/painting implements is not equivalent to art. That’s a very STEM view of things which demonstrates a lack of emotional connection with life or art

          Yes, that is also something you can practice and get better at. Every aspect of Art is something you need to practice at to get better at. im not arguing that skill with an art tool is important to being an artist. I’m only arguing that AI isn’t a tool, it’s a shortcut that tarnishes artistic integrity at best. And at worst, it takes the place of an artist and the user becomes nothing more then the commissioner. (Hence why you can’t copy write AI “art”, it legally not something you made.)

          I’m sorry, how is a favorable view on AI “art” not the “STEM view” of things? It literally lacks all connection between life and art. It’s just a fucking algorithm. I’m the one saying a connection between life and art is important for it to be art.
