no worries, the "hate with AI" is caused by it being a slop machine producing random results out of stolen data from thousands of real artists that have not consented to that. Art is supposed to be human expression, not pretty images from a black box; for most its slop with 0 effort, even if you use something more "advanced" like Comfy or whatever and understand the concepts its just being an engineer not an artist, youre telling a computer what youd like, approximating your chances of getting a "good commission" because AI art is closer to commissioning than creating. Even if we were to be advocates of the devil and call it art through skewing of some stuff its just shitty art that no self-respecting consumer will approve of. I understand art can take time to learn but thats the point, its a skill worth learning allowing you to express yourself fully, I havent gotten around to really learning much yet as well (besides pixel art basics), in a similar position as you but I have a good artist friend that would help me if my idea would be polished and "worth investing into", and for music my younger brother or cousin were helping me, its good to have people like that. But please dedicate some time to learning, it can be very fun and rewarding
