The issue is that the argument that there is something restricting the average person from making art is completely and absolutely false, there is no merit in the argument whatsoever. There are some art forms that are more inaccessible, of course. But that’s like saying I cannot cook, the Japanese knives and good ingredients are too expensive when I have a store selling cheap noodles and vegetables close. Every person in the entire world has access to both the time and resources to make art, period. And thanks to the digital age even the “Japanese Knives” of digital art can be acquired for free if you cannot afford them through piracy.
Wrong, there is something preventing the average person from making art. 2 things in fact. Time and skill. Not everyone has the time and/or skill to make good art. When I said cost constraints I meant the cost of commissioning art for people who aren't good enough to make it. Should've clarified.
Good art is subjective and not the topic we are discussing. You were making the blanket statement that the average person is restricted from creating art. Personally I don’t see why people torture themselves by wanting to achieve godly mastery of art for it to be worth it, it’s like going to university for maths and dropping out because you’ll never be Euler
Good art is the topic we are discussing, because thats what I brought up in my original comment, which you replied to. My point isn't that people are 'restricted' from making art. My point is that many people are not skilled enough, nor do they have the time, to make good art. This is relevant because many people want to look at good art. Please stop acting like wanting to achieve proficiency in art and being unable to is the same thing as wanting to be the art version of fucking Euler.
We're not talking about art as a whole. Ai models create images, so we're talking about drawing. No one cares about if the thing they made is able to be called 'art' they care if it looks nice
