Comfyui workflows, fine-tuning models, keeping up with the latest arxiv papers, patching academic code to work with generative stacks, this stuff is grueling.

Being dismissive of AI art is like those people who dismiss electronic music because there's a drum machine.
Doing things well still requires an immense amount of skill and exhaustive amount of effort. It's wildly complicated
Makes even less sense when you put it like that, why not invest that effort into your own skills instead?
It is somebody's own skill.
Photographers are not painters.
People who do modular synths aren't guitarists.
Technical DJing is quite different from tapping on a Spotify app on a smartphone.
Just because you've exclusively exposed yourself to crude implementations doesn't mean sophisticated ones don't exist.
But you just missed the point.
People aren't trying to push photographs into painted works displays
People who do modular synths aren't typically trying to sell their music as country/rock/guitar based music.
A 3D modeler of a statue isn't pretending to be a sculpturist.
People pushing AI art are trying to slide it right into "human art" displays. Because they are talentless otherwise.
