I get where you&#39;re coming from and appreciate you explaining your perspective. If it makes you happy, I have no right to try to say it&#39;s not valid. That&#39;s what art is supposed to do. My point was that I&#39;d *rather* see your stick figures than this generated piece because...well, it&#39;s like would I rather hear your own voice or a text-to-speech voice from your own typed transcript?

I don&#39;t throw shade on those who wish to create with these tools, but can only try to encourage them to create more directly.

Math and logic, memory/recall, accuracy, all done at blindingly fast speed. We simply can&#39;t compete. AI can and is accelerating how this all works.<br/><br/>HOWEVER.. When I look at AI generated art, it&#39;s hollow. It wasn&#39;t created by a person with real emotions, so the connection simply isn&#39;t there for me.<br/><br/>I hope that humanity eventually concludes that we don&#39;t *want* AI in the creative space.<br/><br/>#ai #genAI #generativeAI #aiart 2024-08-28T23:53:33Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsfrn7965694857hqtznprgvss5du3lla2zxptx2fe6733tes7gy5czyp37pruqwrpkh9md4qk3yqtur7dk6pr795h0xr53tga9r863me43ge6pvup You know another thing I love about my EV?
