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

> 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.

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.

> Just because Al uses no skill to use doesn't make it any less of a tool in this scenario.

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.

> don't tell wood workers they aren't wood workers cause they use jigs and table saws instead of hand saws and wooden nails.

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.
