    Nah dude, I can draw somewhat competently, but it takes a lot of time and dedication to get there. Tweaking prompts is orders of magnitudes easier and quicker than actually drawing something neverming learning to draw something.

        Prompting an AI to make something cohesive in art or music is a skill in itself. In the future it will be about who can prompt better. AI is taking the hand eye coordination out of these arts, and making it all about who can be more creative.

        Think of all the people who can’t physically draw or paint due to disability. Now they can create these kind of arts with only their thoughts. It opens so many doors for people.

        You can’t stop progress, but you shouldn’t be sad about it. There will always be a place for non AI art. It’s just that the people who embrace the technology are going to have insane output compared to traditional artists.

            I mean I kinda agree with you that it sucks that AI is being used on the arts. That’s more than just a job, it’s a passion. The arts are a hobby for most that they are fortunate if they can make a living out of it. I would focus AI and automation on menial labor type jobs if I was somehow in charge of it.

            The problem is that no matter how much we dislike it, it’s still going to happen, so we might as well embrace it and focus on the good in it. It’s here to stay until the electrical grid is taken out I imagine.

            Also, you are going off on a tangent imagining rare people in the middle there. I don’t think there are many people out there that resent artists for having talent like you are saying. The few who do are narcissists, and are likely failed artists themselves. Not a common occurrence.

                I 100 percent agree with everything you say there. If only we can convince the rest of the world that. I hate what tech is turning into right now. If we actually focused it on doing what’s good for us and our future it could be so much better. We are using it for some good, but it is being vastly overshadowed by corporate interests and making numbers go up.

        I mean, if it’s some attempt at a passion project I guess it could be? But I’m usually just letting my GPU churn out cool wallpapers or character art in the background while I watch YouTube. There’s no real soul going into it, but I’m not pretending to put in any, either.
