  Calling yourself an AI "artist"  is like heating up resturant leftovers in the  microwave and thinking youre a chef.

  People always like to compare photography to generative ai and act like the photographer didn't spend hours honing their craft and perfecting that intentionality either.

  one of the biggest things i feel people dont mention is how most of the time people are using AI its either people trying to get clout or people who just want the end product itself. both only see art as a product to be consumed and cant fathom how the process of creating such art is just as important if not more than the end product itself.

  People don’t understand why we don’t like AI generated images over human created works, and I usually shoot back with we have machines that can throw the perfect pitch and hit a home run every time yet people still pay hundreds of dollars to go watch people, who are not nearly as good as the machine, do it instead.

  There&apos;s something extremely special about the art that traditional/digital artists create and it&apos;s all in the feeling, the genuine aspect of it, which AI doesn&apos;t have

  &quot;What people confuse for talent is in fact the willingness to spend hours upon hours honing and perfecting a craft.&quot;<br>PERFECTLY said. I know people mean well when they say &quot;Oh you&apos;re so talented it&apos;s amazing!&quot;, but actually it ends up feeling like an insult. Like, &quot;You don&apos;t have to put in any effort to your work, wow!&quot;. Feels kinda bad after spending years learning your craft, yknow.<br>Thank you for speaking on this.

  ‘It’s just like factories replacing other jobs!’<br>People who say that obviously view art as something you do exclusively as work, and think artists are in it just for the money and hate their work.

  I remember years ago, when I talked about &quot;intelligent robots doing our jobs&quot; with friends. We meant &quot;AI doing the shitty jobs&quot;, not &quot;AI doing the creative jobs&quot;.

  Yea this isn’t about you or me using AI for fan-art. This is about putting studio artists out of a job, imagine having a shonen jump done in minutes, or a Pixar flick done in a few hours, comic books that takes days to finish now have the artwork finished during a lunch break, and put to market and sold by the largest distributors. &nbsp;And it’s all to put workers out of a job. That’s why companies invest in AI technology, to decrease their labor costs, that’s literally the whole pitch of the technology to investors.

  I want technologies to get rid of the boring parts of life, not to get rids of the things that make the life worth living.
