    I don’t mind people making and sharing AI pictures for fun, but if you sell those pictures, that’s kinda cringe tbh.

      I sort of agree, but I think it depends on effort.

      Type one word in and try and sell the easiest generated image? Low value.

      But typing the right combo to create assets to create something larger than the model is capable of? That’s more valuable.

      Criticizing AI or artists that leverage AI is like criticizing an artist for using a printer instead of drawing by hand

      Or saying someone’s digital work is inferior because they used a tool to help make their image…

      On that note, when working on a large project, is an AI artist as pretentious as the artist in the comic because they got some help generating the project from an AI instead of another human? Or is someone’s work ethic less credible for Google searching instead of asking a person? Are works of art valuable because they’re entirely original and uninfluenced by anything else but the artist themself? Because with that metric no artists are valuable since nothing is entirely original anyways

      Everyone can write a prompt. Not everyone can write a prompt that gets around vulgarity filters and outputs an image of Jesus twerking. That’s where the real value is IMHO.
