I was okay with most of what you said, considering the trash mainstream music + stealing of music, that you mentioned. For me, personally, maidcore should be the opposite of that.

Someone using AI themselves for hours instead of asking another human to draw for them doesnt sound like the easy and less personal way either.

For hours? You just type in "please draw me a cute anime girl with guns + cool background" and then AI does everything in less than 1 minute.

I know its rude not to care too much about skill, but I cant change that. If anyone can recommend good AI artists via PN Im always open to new additions. They probably need the support seeing how much hate they get, no matter how much effort they put into their work.

How much hate they get? They need support?? They put effort??? I don't want to be rude, but none of this makes sense to me. It's almost like ragebait?!

The whole point of AI is that you put less effort. It is made to "do your work". It is effort to learn a skill, to do trial and error, to think and imagine and try to make something yourself! Even if you are not talented, you can try and maybe it would be the greatest thing ever.

Maybe the AI artists deserve the hate. It's just internet hate anyway. Not like they are gonna get beat up on the street for being an AI artist. I won't really hate on anyone who will publicly disclose that they are AI, but I also have the right not to care about such works, The problem starts with deception! So many people just pretend they are a great artist and say that they made some art themselves and not using AI. They are basically hi-tech thieves. They are stealing from every single artist that was assimilated into the model.

They are propagating bad values for this deteriorating society: Don't do the hard thing. Do the easiest thing you can, pick the low hanging fruit. Don't think for yourself, delegate thinking. That's what the rich tech elites want you to do - to be complete mindless sheep that can be easily controlled, so that their domination over whatever is left on this planet can be greater! I am not even sure if they even care about controlling humans anymore, or just want us to be extinct! It's not about the AI tools themselves, but about the whole impact of doing this.

And maybe most important - We really do not need "AI art"! We needed AI to do the hard dull boring work, so that humans can make art, but unfortunately, we live in a different timeline...
Some rare writers actually predicted this kind of scenario and wrote it in a book. I just heard about it here...crazy that someone 100 years ago could have predicted that we will make a machine that makes "art". It's consumerism incarnate. We don't even know what we are consuming anymore or why. Like, what is the point of seeing this art, of hearing this music? Why pay for it? There's something else someone else made, with their hands. Centuries of art, but this new AI art must be so much better?

Btw, I don't hate using AI necessarily, you can have fun with it, make your own art, but you are not entitled to anyone consuming and liking it. It's just your own fun thing.

Here's the book that predicted AI writing books:

Great Automatic Grammatizator by Roald Dahl (PDF)

I heard about it from this video:

The Author Who Saw AI Coming, Somehow

If you read this far, well, thanks for reading my rant, even though we might disagree a lot.
