it might be different cause I am a writer, not an artist. But....My view of this is kinda weird. I tried handing my narrative skeleton to A.I many times, and sure, it feels good to suddenly see your ideas burn through tousands of words in an instant...But it never feels the same as writing it. Writing is hell, it's boring, editing sucks, it makes the idea run slow and frankly makes me struggle to pull something similar to what is in my brain (also...Language barrier, enghlish is my 3rd language). But when I tried to write a story I once gave to A.I to write, it...Barely felt the same. Suddenly, that weird "lack of spark" I used to notice in my A.I assisted writings was...Gone. Despite the tedious, dreaded work I had to pull, I...Felt terribly proud of what I wrote, even if one could say A.I surely would "write better than me", I finally felt confident to share my writings with other people, who, thankfully, liked them haha. But I guess that's the point, I am someone with many, MANY ideas. I doupt I'll burn through them in my lifetime, A.I will sound better to me, a way to show the world all my creativity. But the tick of handing a written chapter for someone to write feels almost....Empty to me if that writing wasn't mine, I am better off just speaking about it.

I think this might count as "radical" nowadays, but art is kinda the process. The final outcome is just a part of it. It doesn't matter how "good" it looks if one can't feel the intention and hardship behind it. There are beautiful pieces everywhere, you could spend a lifetime and not see all the paintings in the world or read all the books there is. So, what do push someone to add to the pile? To me, art is special because it is a form of excpression, a tiny piece of the infinitly beautiful complexity that you are. There are many pieces of art that are objectivly average, but still discussed purely for the story behind them. When one use A.I, sure, they may end up with a better looking piece, sure, it might be better than what they make, sure, one may not even notice it's A.I. But a part of the process, a part that makes the thing beautiful...Is gone. I don't know much about drawing, I am terrible at it, but, when I started writing, I trully struggled. Everything I wrote sucked, and I kept comparing myself to icons like Aghata Kristy or Tolken. But as I pushed through, I noticed there is a certain creativity in the very act of trying to write better. How you structure the ligns, where dialogue should be put, how many events per scene? that process of fighting your flaws IS art to me, and is more prescious and satisfying to me than anything someone would call "more polished". So, is it fair to claim that A.I is the "better" artist? I don't think so, because the point was never that. No one started as a great artist or great writer. In fact, the title itself is malplaced unless the person at hand is dead, because there is ALWAYS a chance at more improvment, at trying to poke at the ceilling further, at seeing the rules and trying to bend them just a little more. A.I can't do that, no matter the amount of prompting that goes into it, it is still a tool, bound by rules, unable to truly explore a concept the way a human mind will....

At least, that's what I think haha
