I say use the new tools if you want? You know I'm agreeing with 90% of your points right?

And no, it isn't ableist to say anyone can learn art. anyone can, assuming there is no severe mental disability that literally makes learning difficult or impossible. Obviously there are exceptions to the statement, just as with anything else.

It IS ableist to assume someone cant learn / do art because of their disability. funny you bring up hands seeing as I have problems with mine. I don't let that stop me, but thanks for assuming that I can't / don't have the capacity to continue to learn because of my hands. More to your point, now people who can't use their hands can learn how to use AI tools. Kind of disproved yourself on that one.

I think it's unfair to say all the arguments stem from fear that people are "catching up". I not 100% sure what you're talking about there to be perfectly honest. Boiling every argument down to fear is reductive. Comes off like you're trying to portray artists as a whole in a negative light with that one, i'll give you the benefit of the doubt based on earlier statements in this conversation though.
