Yes, that is also something you can practice and get better at. Every aspect of Art is something you need to practice at to get better at. im not arguing that skill with an art tool is important to being an artist. I'm only arguing that AI isn't a tool, it's a shortcut that tarnishes artistic integrity at best. And at worst, it takes the place of an artist and the user becomes nothing more then the commissioner. (Hence why you can't copy write AI "art", it legally not something you made.)

I'm sorry, how is a favorable view on AI "art" not the "STEM view" of things? It literally lacks all connection between life and art. It's just a fucking algorithm. I'm the one saying a connection between life and art is important for it to be art.

Oh my God! Someone else that enjoys being put under! I wouldn't say it is quite pleasurable, but definitely a fun experience. It's like time travel. You remember them telling you to count down from ten, you get to 7-6 and then BAM, you are waking up after the operation is done. I've had 3 surgeries and they have all been pretty fun experiences, but to be fair, I've never had complications and non of them were life threatening.

Now you are just arguing in circles. All it takes is practice. And if they truly don't want to do the work themselves, working with an artist can be a very rewording experience. Will hiring an artist cost money? Yes, but then you get to directly support the people making your idea come to fruition. Instead of using AI that steals those artists work to train it's algorithm and does nothing to support artist.

Ok, creativity is also something you can practice and get better at. I funny that in the first part, you mention creating art with "emotional and intellectual meaning" and then still support AI "Art" that lacks much of that.

Stop with the excuses. art is a skill that requires practice. if you don't put In the practice you won't be very good, but that doesn't mean you can't get good and gain that artistic ability. And go into any art community and ask about doing art with a disability. Half the artist probably have a disability. (If one has a disability the that makes it hard for them to hold a more conventional job, art can actually be a great source of income.) It may be more challenging, but with enough determination and practice, anyone can get good at art.

It's not like I'm very good at art either, the best I can do is sketch simple things I can see.

No AI will ever turn an idea into a picture better then taking pencil/paintbrush/pen in hand doing it yourself. The best you can get is "yeah that's close enough to what I was Invisioning" the computer doesn't know what you are thinking, and a description, no matter how in depth, can ever take what you have in mind and perfectly create it. AI is doing it's interpretation of what you ask for. And plus, the AI isn't an art tool, if anything, it's the artist. The prompt whiter is just the one commissioning it.

I have come to the same conclusion. The realization comes with lots of fear and anxiety, but also a bit of peace. The earth has gone through many mass extinction events and recovered, so hopefully it will do the same after this. It is interesting that this extinction event is caused in part by a species living on it that can see what is going on, had opportunities to prevent/mitigate it, and chose not to.

One of those things is not like the others. AI "art" is just feeding an AI a prompt until it spits out something you like. Some people may do a touch up to hide the hallucinations, but they aren't actually creating the image.

... No, they didn't.

It's not so much about the hobby itself. It's the having interests part. Having some things you like to do or are passionate about. Sure, some hobbies will attract more interest from women then others, but plenty of women are into video games, working out, or any other "unattractive" hobbies, you just got to find the right match.

Now you see how fucking low the standards are for men. And yet there are still plenty of men that can't seem to get it.
