That'll do. I'll take this L but I'm still with Miyazaki on this one. Art opinions on Lemmy always getting me into trouble.

You asked to find an human with some opinion, of course there will be at least a few.

I'm not ideologically opposed to genAI, it's just that the people who own these tools don't view them the way you do. They want to get rid of all paid work, and not in a Star Trekky "fully automated luxury gay space communism" way like we'd all prefer. They want infinite wealth and power concentrated to as great a degree as possible. Confining the discussion to mere art is fully insane, and I stand with Miyazaki.

To equivocate yet more, I have enjoyed some genAI content (doopiiidoo on YouTube is doing really unique stuff with it) but the other point I really need to drive home here is that no matter how good our tools get, nothing is ever going to beat hard work - at least when it comes to art.

I'm willing to cede that this tool is of some use as part of a toolkit, but this is like saying Volkswagens from the 40's were pretty fun to drive. Yes, but...

I disagree on a thing, the amount of work does not make something a better artwork.
Maybe more impressive, but not necessarly better.
