Didn't read all your posts before I responded to the other person but made many of the same points. AI is good of a tool as it is, is still a tool used by the artist to make artwork. No need to mention those colored pencils someone used to draw a picture either, or the person who created color pencils.

People are just mad that a tool is giving some people better looking art then their lack of skill with the harder to use tools.

Just because AI uses no skill to use doesn't make it any less of a tool in this scenario. I don't tell wood workers they aren't wood workers cause they use jigs and table saws instead of hand saws and wooden nails.

Anyways just adding more supporting facts to your statement to the otherguy.

my point is AI isn’t so much a tool as it is an artist you commission.

this is a gross oversimplification of a very nuanced and valid array of grievances, many of which i’ve illustrated in my contributions to this thread, one of which was already in response to you, so no point in rehashing.

it does when art in this context and by definition inherently necessitates skill. if a tool does all the work and requires no skill on behalf of the operator, the operator doesn’t still get to pretend to be a “skilled worker”. as i’ve said before, they’re in essence commissioning an artist to realize their vision. this does not an artist make.

that’s because the jigs and table saws can’t come up with inspiration and invent a piece of furniture on their own just because you asked them to.
