AI-generated art (if you wanna call it that) is like Google Glass and the Metaverse. It’s not that most people don’t want it in their lives, they actually actively despise it. It’s a product that generates feelings of loathing rather than delight; dismay rather than joy.
No, it's fucking not. It's soulless, boring, and I have much more fun DRAWING the picture. And I am both bad at drawing and don't really enjoy it.
I put in a prompt one time to prove a point and fucking HATED it.
I have 0 idea how this is gatekeeping.
Art literally only requires a pencil and a piece of paper to learn. If you can't afford that, a stick and some dirt will suffice.
The cost of learning art is literally only time and a couple bucks. You got a computer? Microsoft Paint comes free with Windows.
