    Because we are no longer creators. We are consumers. A ten year old child than could barely draw a stick figure now has the capability of creating “art” that is indistinguishable from actual talent by an untrained eye.

    Quick, easy, and skill-less was always gong to win over spending a lifetime to perfect a craft. We’re human:

    We invented the path of least resistance

      If I were that ten-year-old, I still would rather actually draw, paint, or craft for real than to let an LLM do it for me. Hell, I still would rather create for real than let an LLM do it for me even now when I’m much older.

      No, but really, it’s more fun especially for an actual kid, to play with things like crayons, paints, or any other sort of art or craft supplies, than to type in a prompt, let alone for older people.

      If you ever get the glitter out though, keep it in a tray or else you’ll be cleaning it up for the rest of your life, lmao.

        As would I, but I also grew up in a time where AI wasn’t an option. I’m assuming you did as well. If you could have made a badass mural for your bedroom wall- depicting your favored hero or dragons or whatever, just by tying a sentence into a command prompt- you probably would.

          Oh, I did. Thankfully. I even predated smartphones becoming an actual problem in school, and I assume you did too.
