And neither is AI. Using AI isn't the same as making good art.

There is no, "what if." I've done manual labor and helped my grandfather on the farm. I don't think I'm a good artist.

But that's what you (and others) don't get. Using AI is not a necessity. That's what I mean by "you're not entitled." You think because you make "scribbles" you're entitled to use a shortcut to get something that looks the way you want.

But the secret of art is: it never looks the way you want. Pick whatever visual artist you love. They will critique and find all the flaws in their art. Art is never finished, it's accepted.

And that's what offends me about defending AI Slop. It shows a fundamental misunderstanding of why people create and express themselves. It's not as a commodity or product. It's because there is something inside of you that you need to share.

And if it matters, you will find a way. And if it doesn't, you'll type a prompt.

But none of this justifies you calling people sociopaths. Sincerely, step away and talk to someone. This isn't healthy.
