As someone with few artistic talents I am able to use AI to help share my imagination. It’s not perfect, but so many artists are gatekeeping because they fear their livelihoods and wellbeing. The emotion is real. The root though is societal structure.
Art is important to society and provides tremendous value. AI helping create it doesn’t lower its value. If anything it gives voice to the previous voiceless artist. It may result however in significantly more “bad” art, if there is such a thing.
You will never, ever convince me that AI should he used to create art. Art fundamentally, at it's core, is made by people. Work with artists and pay them for their collaboration.
Then it is not my art. I just own something I described and put to creation through the eyes and thoughts of another. AI is an empowering tool. It’s how it is used that matters.
And you're using it as a way to circumvent supporting artists, which is already one of the most under-appreciated skills and careers out there. Everyone wants to enjoy art but no one wants to acknowledge the time, effort, and skill that goes into creating it, or adequately compensate them
