Raw LLM Responses

You know who doesn’t call herself an artist and isn't shameful as an AI artist? ~~My sister~~ She doesn’t claim to be an artist. She isn't passionate about art. But there are random days where she is bored, grabs a pencil and says, “Screw it, I wanna draw.” And guess what? She puts in the HOURS. She pours effort into every doodle, drawing, or design she comes up with. And her work? It blows away half the stuff I see from people who claim to “love art.” So no, AI “artists” have no excuse. None. If someone with no deep passion can create something beautiful through hard work alone, what’s their excuse? You didn’t want to try. That’s it. You want the end result, but not the journey. That’s not art. That’s mimicry. And no, disabilities don’t excuse AI artists either. Frida Kahlo dealt with chronic pain and mobility issues her whole life after a terrible accident. That didn’t stop her from pouring herself onto her canvas. Chuck Close became paralyzed from the neck down after a spinal artery collapse and still continued to create large-scale portraits by ADAPTING his techniques. Stevie Wonder is BLIND. Yet he became a music icon, a composer, and an incredible instrumentalist. See the difference? See the keyword? Adapt. They didn’t give up or blame the world. They made art anyway. That’s grit. That’s human. And none of them pressed a [generate] button to do it. I’m the “artist” in my family because I love this. I didn’t just wake up talented. I started with crayons and scribbles. Ugly ones. My old coloring books were chaos. My finger paintings? Total nonsense. But I loved doing it, so I kept going. I took every art class I could. I practiced. I failed. I tried again. That’s why I’m good now. Art isn’t a gift from birth. It’s a skill you hone OVER YEARS of practice. Keyword: YEARS Saying someone was “born talented” is like saying a chef never had to learn how to cook, or a writer never had to learn a language or basic grammar. It's like saying computer scientists pulled software, programs, or systems like AI out of their asses. When in reality it's years and years of mastering a damn degree. Saying we were just ‘born talented’ is dismissive. It spits on the sweat and struggle that built the world we live in today. Even college dropouts can make it. So many of them try something else to be successful, and they work hard until they make it to their goals. So yeah, maybe art isn’t made for pro-AI “artists.” Because they gave up before they even tried. They couldn’t handle being bad at something before getting good. Everyone is bad at the beginning. So here’s a thought to AI Artists: Find something you actually love. Put in the effort. And stop saying you are gift-less when the truth is, you either don’t care enough, or plainly gave up too soon. At the end of the day, how good you are at something will depend solely on you. On your attitude towards the matter. With that attitude you show toward art? I’d be surprised if you could even manage a cash register at McDonald’s.
