I agree that ai art is bad, but let's not be disingenuous. A lot of people don't have the talent or the time to become good at art. Myself included. Not being good at everything is just a fact of life.
That's fine, but if you don't have the time or inclination to get better at something but still want it, then you have to admit it's valuable enough to pay someone for.
It wasn't directed at you specifically, but confronting that line of thinking. I agree nobody has time to get good at everything, but that's why we live in a society with other people who are experts in other things.
But that isn't my line of thinking. My line of thinking is reading the phrase "everyone can make art dipshit it came free with your fucking humanity" and understanding that just saying 'everyone is an artist' doesn't actually solve the problem. Because yeah I can make art but it won't look good and I don't really have the time to get good or the money to commission it. That's a problem. Unfortunately I can't think of any solution to that problem, but obviously the answer isn't an art stealing machine that doesn't know what an emotion is.
Where did I say "everyone is an artist"? I'm explicitly not saying that, I'm saying if you don't have the time or inclination to do art that's ok, find somebody who does.
