Or you could pick up a pencil and put it to paper, actually expressing what’s in your soul through your own efforts. I know which one I’d prefer to look at.
Also, saying AI “Democratizes art” ignores several million years of people making art with whatever was on hand, whether that be 3D modeling software, or charcoal on a cave wall. Art has always been Democratic and Free; AI, notably, isn’t.
I’m gonna get downvotes again, but: no I couldn’t. Art class was mandatory for 9 years of school for me and I can still only draw shit with straight lines. Using a ruler. I can’t do anything with a “free hand” as the teacher called it. If I had a project that required art on even a 3rd grade level I could choose between AI and hiring a person I can’t afford.
That said, I hate what it does to professional artists. And luckily I don’t have time to go through with the video game I wanted to create so I don’t have to choose between AI and a real human with actual creativity right now.
Motherfucker I don’t give a fuck whether you’re a professional artist or a literal child drawing the most dogshit scribbles imaginable, I STILL prefer that over the most refined AI Slop that could possibly be generated. Its not ABOUT the technical skill on display, it’s about the sheer fact that YOU, a REAL, PHYSICAL PERSON, picked up the tools and decided to TRY. That alone is what’s worthy of commendation, not the fact that AI can shit out generically hot anime waifus in .0032 seconds.
That’s the crux of the issue for me. Most models will be trained using everything they can find on the internet and steal the ability to draw from these images. Then nobody will pay artists and AI vendors will make money instead of real humans.
Capitalists win and we lose

Yeah my artwork isn’t the greatest https://billsaquarium.com/ but it’s my artwork and can tell the stories I want to tell.
Also AI can’t make original painting like the kind my wife paints. It’s all digital.

Thank you, this is an arch with the plastic diver, so follow along for a new one coming out tomorrow. And if follow Patreon you get them way sooner.

You don’t have to draw perfect art. I make a webcomic and it’s not all straight lines shit. But it’s true art that I did myself no AI needed.
