As much as I have issues with AI, I feel like it would actually help you get your imagination set down in a way you could actually show people? Like I can think of a wonderful scene in my head, but I can’t even draw a straight line with a ruler and you want me to draw that scene? Hell no, and lack of ability isn’t lack of imagination, it’s just a skill issue.
The issue is when people use chatgpt or whatever to form a reply for them, like i get that people can’t draw hence cannot implement said imagination, but…word? It doesn’t have to be fancy, just type out what they have in mind. It happened right in Lemmy as well.
Drawing however is a vital part of the creative process. Creativity is not only about getting your mental image on paper, but also to learn and hone your limits as an artist.
Bob Ross said that stuff about “happy little accidents” for a reason.
Or, let me rephrase because this is a serious question testing the limits of your statement: what impact would you say being a paraplegic unable to perform basic motor functions has on someone’s ability to create art, given that (according to you) they cannot perform such critical parts of the creative process?
Well first off, most paraplegics still have use of their arms, so drawing should not be a problem there.
Quadriplegics have access to digital interfaces and there are many example of an artists who use their mouths to paint. Henry Salas has lost function in 90% of his body and has been a digital artist for over a decade.

Lol fair enough, my bad, I’m still shaking off the sleep, I did mean quadriplegics!
So then in this view it’s not just using your extremities to create art, but any part of your body, which is a crucial part of the process. Your mouth, a foot, a nostril - all valid bodily extensions to interface with the world and create “real art” with.
But language is another interface between someone’s mind and the world; why is that not a valid extension to create art with? What about people who generate their AI art piecemeal, using inpainting and careful prompting to correct features they don’t want? What about professional photographers using their existing knowledge of photography to create award-winning compositions entirely with AI? Is it fair to say these people have no imagination?
I’d argue that creativity shouldn’t be linked to technical skill. I’ve met people who have really creative ideas and solutions that they couldn’t carry out because they couldn’t weld, machine, do carpentry, paint, draw, or otherwise carry out their idea. Are they not creative? Sure, to be a great artist you need those skills, and using AI does not make you an artist as a result, but using AI to demonstrate your creativity shouldn’t be demonised. Creating AI using other people’s IP without their permission should be demonised.

Dunno man, sounds like an imagination issue.
Sounds like you can’t imagine how shit I am at art

Trust me there are a lot of accidents with AI generators
But they’re never interesting. It’s never due to some human factor, but always a “huh, I guess the stochastic model doesn’t work properly.”
