I’m truly so tired of hearing opinions about art from people who don't participate in or practice it

Here's a general principle: non-participants can have opinions about our thing (whatever thing that is). If they trot out the same naive dumb lines of thought over and over, and we can't put into words why they're wrong, that's a regrettable failure of discussion, but it's nobody's fault, and they should continue with their aggravating droning until we actually get our act together and find something effective to say in reply.

Yes I agree, you should try generating your own custom AI assisted art. You might be surprised by the enjoyment you get out of manifesting a vision in your head that you could not have produced before.

Art is for everyone and everyone can have an opinion on it. Dont be so elitist.

  • A ream of printer paper and 5 fineliners are about $10 and there's tons of online tutorials. Nobody is gatekeeping Art you just refuse to try actually doing it.

    • You are gatekeeping though. The poster you're being disparaging to has created something new, they are producing art even if it doesn't meet your standards.

  • It is not elitist to expect people to be honest about what role they play in the creation of generative AI.
