    do let me know if im coming off as combative and this isnt the place for it, i do admit i definitely am a pessimist

    Is something that only the rich have access to right now, enable creative expression beyond our wildest imagination for all of the people who don’t have 5 to 10 years of their life to dedicate to learning art.

    isnt this possible just by commissioning an artist from fiverr or deviantart with your own prompt of an image you want. for the amount of times a person wished they had spent time learning how to draw, we would let many more companies get away with not paying artists for every piece of art available in a board/card game so they could make more money

    Sure, but we quite enjoy having prerecorded music nowadays and we would never give that up in exchange for live artists.

    would we give that up instead for genAI created music? no one has the time for 5 to 10 years of vocal training too

    Because humans like to express themselves and share that expression is widely as they can for no other reason than the active sharing and having their works seen by many.

    when genAI models can learn from art faster than a human can, art becomes a working professional artist’s only competitive advantage if they wish to live off of their work. while it may be shared, but possibly only behind a glass screen in a private gallery with metal detectors prohibiting cameras at the front, considering how futile anti-AI art filters may end up

    Why do you doubt the most pure form of art? Art as a hobby. Art as a form of self-expression?

    because people are unwilling to spend 5 to 10 years learning art as a hobby to express themselves when they can still earn some money from it as their passion now
