    How many rough drafts of 101 Dalmations would you watch before arriving at what is now the final product?

    If effort is art than again digital artists aren’t real artists because they aren’t using oil on canvas.

      Painters that don’t mix their own black aren’t real artists. Inscribing words without deference to God is to blaspheme.

      Art is not necessarily effort, but effort can be art. While I am agreeable that AI is a tool, it is one that appears to be used quite ineffectually. I’d love for artists to be able to produce their own stylized models. That’d be the legitimate pathway genAI might be able to take to follow the same trajectory as photoshop did for digital artistry.

      Nonetheless a digital artist can convey their effort in a manner of the same order as oil on canvas. The problem with genAI is that it is purely derivative. It is limiting to the creative process as a result until the models, checkpoints, and such are entirely rooted into it.

      If you didn’t make the model, train the checkpoints, and refine the prompts then you’re just feeding a black hole of derivative work, every time.

      Honestly the hallucinations and horrors are the only things genAI have been creative about.

      I’m choosing to believe you’re just a troll because it takes real human effort to draw both digitally and traditionally. I can tell you’re not an artist and have never spent hours—years even—practicing.

      Not to mention, the fact that all AI image generators are using stolen art, made by real humans, who wanted to share their ideas, their style, their added experiences, their perspectives, is why the image generated looks soulless, bland, and drawn with no real substance to many who can tell when something is AI gen.
