Did AI help you write that comment to convince real people AI isn't bad for humanity?

FYI: when you use AI to generate art, YOU are not creating art. Just to be clear.

YOU are not creating art.

You create art when you create art, not when you are using "correct" tools.

Someone creating art using AI is a broke art commissioner, not an artist. They’ve created nothing, they’ve asked a machine to create it for them.

Generating art via AI isn’t being an artist the same way a fan commissioning art of a story character they like isn’t an artist.

Directors ask actors to do what they envisioned.

The problem with AI artist is not that it’s made with AI, but because it’s made by lazy people, who think that imitating workshop or skills is enough to call it art.

Try to make let’s say 3 min. Music video with AI, but video that not only looks good, but that people will want to watch from the beginning to the end, and you’ll realize that it’s just a tool, and all heavy lifting is made by a person.

At least there's no copyright.
