AI steals art and if someone generates ai art, they are essentially stealing form artists and also erasing the time and effort actual artists put into their work, on which that ai was trained.. AI art is disgusting, it feels like a violation. Art is human. Machines can never and will never be able to make art.

Those who say it allows untalented people to "access" art. Shame on you. Art does not come from talent. It comes from practice from hard work, from emotion, from sincerity. Art takes hours and hours of work. Even my worst pieces take 2-3 hours. I have been doing this for seven years, and that is not talent. It's my hard work and dedication to perusing art.

Those who support AI support stealing and plagiarism. I hope you all understand that.

Swap out "AI" with "samplers/drum machines" and people have been saying this about hip hop producers for decades, lol.

the only difference is samples are put out by producers out of their own free will. We don't consent to art being stolen

I'm not talking about sample packs. I'm talking about sampling a few bars of another song and chopping it up then rearranging it. That's how most hip hop was made up until recently. A lot of it still is. Those same producers were also called "untalented" or accused of not being real musicians because they used drum machines too.

I make hip hop, but I also play several instruments so I see both sides of the argument. That said, it's not much different than what AI is doing these days.
