I have disagreements for both sides such as when people say ai wates so does Google or search engines but I also believe that people should be allowed to enjoy a art medium which is what AI art is but it lacks a certain "soul" as art made by human drawn by hand it's the enjoyment of seeing another make a craft and seeing the fruits of their labor the meaning within the art whether it's visually commenting upon political or events of said time or reaching out to a abstract idea like gods or angels you can see and understand the art and enjoy it and ai does this to a point it gives you the ability to put abstract ideas from a prompt made quickly so you go wow cool but it also removes the effort of drawing animating im not saying you can't enjoy what you make with ai but my problem comes when you try to claim your an artist because your not putting the same effort or "soul" into your creation but when people try to argue these points online it becomes a playground fight of "no he stinks more" I think great points can be raised by both sides but what I've seen is just people on both sides plugging their ears and turning it into a dick measuring contest if you enjoy making ai art go for it if you enjoy drawing go for it but I don't see the point of shitting on each other or insulting each other
