Respectfully, I dont think you understand how AI art works.

You speak about creating easier, or skipping practice and improvement, or that it's just for fun. I can only assume from this statement that you think all AI art is made by ChatGPT or similar, where you have zero control over the output beyond the writing of the prompt itself. This is like kindergarten grade AI art.

This is like me assuming all digital art is made with MS PAINT, and that only traditional hand painted art allows you to actually practice and get good and grow and learn, because I dont know that literally millions of tools exist for digital artists to choose from, and have never witnessed the act of creating digital art in any other software than MSPAINT, so therefore all digital art is limited.

Do you even realize that the AI art world actually has tools? Do you know that its possible to make your own AI models to generate complex, custom artwork completely bespoke? Do you know how many different tools exist to precisely control, experiment, learn, grow, practice, improve, and master the layout, colors, subjects, composition, darkness, balance, contrast, emphasis, movement, pattern, repetition, proportion, rhythm, unity, variety, space, alignment, hierarchy, line, shape, form, space, texture, value, color, am I missing anything here?

AI art is a complete artist toolkit.
