I did and wish you the absolute best in your recovery. Just remember people can live to be over 100 (I know the trades are rough I'm in them as well) just push to get better and make some changes.

Bud you're 47, you are not that dam old.

I guess people should say when they use colored pencils too.

People asked he answered honestly how does that make him a fraud.

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.

Original: 1. present or existing from the beginning; first or earliest.

It is original content, just not their program. Unless they redid an image already done then the content would be original.

Just because they used an AI program developed by someone else does not imho mean they were not the creator of the art.

That would be like stating the person who created colored pencils should be the original creator of all work created using colored pencils.

The AI is the tool, now it may be a tool removing the majority of the skill but it is still just a tool. It's the difference between a hammer and a nail gun. Makes the job easier but it's still doing a job.

Now there is a ton of semantics, you could argue if they used AI to redraw an image they saw online then it's a copy so not OC. But if you wouldn't make that same critique of someone who used a photograph to draw a picture than you shouldn't make it here either. But thats a different argument entirely.
