Raw LLM Responses

I'm an art teacher. I remind my students regularly that the things they see that are "good" have thousands of hours and mistakes behind them. That people can learn. Some will learn faster based on their prior knowledge or because of the way a person is teaching them clicks. Some will take more time. The important thing is to keep going, keep learning, keep looking. Writing off someone's hard work as mere "talent" is so offensive. It disregards all of the time spent studying and working toward mastery. It is why AI-generated images will never be 'art'. Sure, you can spend the time figuring out how to craft the best prompts, and that can be a skill to learn and develop, but it will never replace the time spent by artists whose work is used to feed the AI.
