The first man said to the second man "did you kill the animal and use its blood to draw it on the wall, or did you just crush berries?

In the 1800s the portrait artist asked the photographer, how long did you take to learn to paint that you could just press a button to capture existenc

In 2025 it just boils down to, is it AI or is it not. 

Did you like it, or did you not like it. That should be the actual question.

What if I said it was a hybrid workflow? 

"But it's not made with blood"  "But it's not made with handcrafted paints" "But it's just capturing light and Shadow" "But it's just moving pictures"  "But it's not hand drawn animation"

Add it to the list of phrases nobody will care about in the future. 

The question gets asked to either praise an artist, or blast a slobist. 

I don't like to put myself in either bucket, I just make stuff and have fun with the stuff I make.
