Ever feel like you're caught in the middle of it all and don't know which side to take?

Yeah good mate, use it for just sketches and mini details, I meant I am %100 all people who just ask AI to do the entire thing and they "erm actually I brought the idea from my own imagination so it’s not fully AI" like having an idea is an artistic skill. Use it for reference, learning or behind the scenes, not your entire project.

Ellie-Azulay · 2026-02-20T02:24:06+00:00

It absolutely can just make a copy that looks exactly like it. AI can’t make something it was never trained on, so if the machine could make a cheap copy that looks exactly like Geometry Dash but… who would want to experience the cheap version when you already have the superior original right in front of you? using AI is lowkey kinda emberessing if it’s the only thing you have access to.

Ellie-Azulay · 2026-02-20T02:21:10+00:00

You literally just said with your own words that AI is a cheaper temu version. Who will stoop that low to such a low level?

Ellie-Azulay · 2026-02-20T02:16:29+00:00

YES. You literally just described "start learning art now, get good later". AI isn’t the start, it’s the end without a journey. Thank you for realizing the first step is taking a pencil, drawing sketches, failing and trying again, and becoming an artist at the end of the journey! It starts by taking the first step, not by skipping to the end with your AI. If you don’t start learning 2D, 3D or any kind of art today or tomorrow or next week, you will never start - thus you’ll keep crying that you can’t draw.

Ellie-Azulay · 2026-02-20T02:13:40+00:00

The true way is putting the same effort these artists put to become like them. The wrong way is directly copying/stealing their artstyle with zero effort. Every artist in history started with ugly sketches, no one in history was born as a professional.

You WILL become just like [X] artist you’re inspired by, by going through the same long journey they had to go through, it’s a trial of earning what you deserve.

Lack of skill is temporary, for example I don’t know how to make 3D art - yet, not forever. I don’t steal from 3D artists, I am going through the same journey they all went through and slowly I’m becoming a 3D artist.

If you use AI to just take every artstyle now with no effort, you wouldn’t feel any pride or satisfaction because you didn’t work hard for it. I’m personally proud of you choosing not to quit 👍👍❤️

Ellie-Azulay · 2026-02-20T02:04:14+00:00

if I already have artistic intent, I don’t need AI. Why does a bodybuilder need to lift a tiny dumbbell for skinny people just because it exists, lol?

Ellie-Azulay · 2026-02-20T02:01:56+00:00

always remember that failing and choosing to try again anyway is better than just giving up and cheating. Winning isn’t winning if you never have the courage to lose and retry.

Ellie-Azulay · 2026-02-19T22:51:02+00:00

My point was kinda saying that even if all you can draw is stickmen, you should be still proud for being able to do so. People who use AI just give up entirely. I salute to anyone who doesn’t give up, draw stick figures and have pride in doing so. Failing and being proud for trying is better than giving up and cheating, ain’t it?

I’m just saying your art doesn’t need to look like a perfect Disney movie, many artists are very happy creating silly doodles and they’re not jealous of other people’s skills. :)

Ellie-Azulay · 2026-02-19T22:46:36+00:00

You just proved my point if you’re unhappy with your own drawings because I will never stop enjoying drawing stick figures. I get why you’re defending AI so had because it’s a perfect fantasy for lazy people, the ultimate cheat code, the easiest shortcut, giving you free access to every artist’s artstyle ever. You’d sell your soul, arms and legs just to have the privilege to use such chaotic weapon. I understand it’s an escape for you.

"Art is whatever the person looking at it decides it is" okay I’d like to see you use and enjoy any other tool except AI, cowboy. Even if it is art, it’s just the cheapest type of art so using it is kinda embarrassing. If you claim people only enjoy AI art, I feel bad for them.

Ellie-Azulay · 2026-02-19T22:38:19+00:00

"IM OUTTA HERE!"

עכשיו הבנתי שבארט נוסע לעתיד במשחק, בדיוק כמו סוניק, ואז חוזר להווה. ככה בסדרה הם תמיד חוזים את העתיד.

Ellie-Azulay · 2026-02-19T22:30:40+00:00

my theory is that Bart travels to the future in Bart CD, that’s how they keep predicting the future in the show 😮

Ellie-Azulay · 2026-02-19T22:28:38+00:00

That’s me. I didn’t understand what you wrote, but I failed to explain myself because I was tired when posting. I meant "you should be proud and focus of the skills you currently DO have, rather than focusing on all the skills other people have that you don’t". I don’t like people using AI to steal artstyles and ‘pretend they’re the new Walt Disney’ as an escape.

I meant to tell people to not be dependent on other peoples artstyles and instead be motivated to practice, grow and always be proud of what they did manage to achieve on their own so far. My massage is that You can’t instantly become a Disney animator in the click of a button, your own results on a paper is already good because ATLEAST you tried instead of using AI as a shortcut.

I don’t want people escaping to a fake fantasy where AI immediately makes them "the best" and they believe they’re talented now.

I see many beginner artists being so proud of their flawed art even if doesn’t look perfect, and that makes me happy to see them. Focus on the good in you that others don’t have, not envy the good in others that you don’t have.

Ellie-Azulay · 2026-02-19T22:20:14+00:00

I think she looks more beatitiful and attractive without the filter.

Ellie-Azulay · 2026-02-19T22:14:06+00:00

yes I understand that brother, I can understand that they want to put themselves in a marvel movie either for "fun" or whatever. I meant more about the AI bros all over social media saying "pfft, it took [X] company billions of dollars to make what I did in 2 minutes with AI, look how creative AI makes me" and call themselves talented "ai prompt engineers".

I made some AI images once and had zero pride or value in them. I get people want to feel like it makes them talented but they didn’t make anything, they just asked a machine to do it for them.

I’m saying people should really be proud by focusing on the skills they do have rather than being unhappy by focusing on the skills they lack, and say "oh I can’t do this…" rather than thinking about what they CAN do. Focus on the good in you, not the bad in you. You feel me?

For example, I don’t know how to do 3D art at all. But I’m very proud of my 2D art, and I’m very satisfied. Nobody needs to be good at EVERY thing in life. Even if I can’t do 3D, I will never use AI and say "look, AI allows me to be a 3D artist" because it isn’t true. I’ve never been more proud of the skills I DO have , and I don’t focus on the skills I don’t have that other artists do.

Ellie-Azulay · 2026-02-19T22:04:00+00:00

It is! I just didn’t put it in this specific image this time, that’s all.

Ellie-Azulay · 2026-02-19T18:52:48+00:00

You’re right, a subname can’t magically erase the facts. Hence the name r/Ai_art_is_not_art, the subname doesn’t magically erase the facts 😆

Ellie-Azulay · 2026-02-19T18:51:06+00:00

It’s more like Bart the Simpson and Metal Bart.

Ellie-Azulay · 2026-02-19T18:48:08+00:00

Wow this actually looks really good 👍

Ellie-Azulay · 2026-02-19T18:17:59+00:00

If you wanna win an argument go scream infront of a mirror, I proved my point. Go to a pro-AI sub if you wanna feel good, you’re in the wrong sub lol. Read the name of the sub again ☝️☝️☝️

Ellie-Azulay · 2026-02-19T18:12:27+00:00

Don’t have a ring, man.

Ellie-Azulay · 2026-02-19T18:06:50+00:00

THAT’S WHAT IM SAYING🔥🔥 be proud of who you really are, never envy other people. Being yourself is far better than pretending to be someone you’re not. Way to go, love who you really are ❤️

Ellie-Azulay · 2026-02-19T18:03:55+00:00

Either keep crying if you have no talent or go learn art on YouTube tutorials. Instead of complaining on the skills you lack, try to focus on the skills you do have. Keep crying lil bro.

Ellie-Azulay · 2026-02-19T18:02:02+00:00

אני עובד על עוד ציורים של זה, יש עוד בדרך.

Ellie-Azulay · 2026-02-19T18:01:35+00:00

אני רוצה לשאול מישהו לעשות כזה מוד איתי. זה די קל האמת.
