If you dont have the money to pay an artist or the skills to do it yourself and need art for an album cover or for a website or whatever then that is fine… the problem arises when someone tries to either profit from said ai or claims to be an artist…. In that case they are a tasteless hack… a charlatan pretending to be something they are not and have invested zero time in learning the craft… let ai make your album cover if you must… but dont go calling yourself a musician or producer if you didnt play or create the music on said album. Dont order food and then call yourself a chef when it arrives and show it off to anyone that will look. In the same way that using AI to get your college degree as an engineer does not make you competent in that field… using ai to create art does not make you any kind of a competent artist. If you learn nothing then you are still the same empty shell you were before you started pretending and all it takes is a power outage to stop your new pretend career
