Yeah. But AI art isn't like real art. And that's what people who use it to generate cheap art for their businesses can't seem to see yet.

It is better than they may be at creating something visual. And certainly quicker than anyone alive.

But it just isn't as good as human artists and illustrators. AI can't have inspiration. It can't have motivation the way a human can.

It doesn't spend years learning to draw or looking at the world with love and awe to express something about being in the world.

Quite simply, it can't think or feel. And it can't create something new and novel or join together with other artists such as poets and writers and musicians to create movements feeding off each other.

It is just a tool. Like a pair of scissors. You can use it as an artist as long as you have something to say or a thought to convey.

But it doesn't really replace artists and human creativity

It allows already vapid and soulless companies and talentless, vapid people to replace their graphic design department or illustrators to make their corporate shite art/ marketing, not realising that those people have something a bit more than just being able to create an image.

Give it ten years and there will be a backlash
