Raw LLM Responses

I do not like AI art. It's just... it doesn't have passion or creativity or anything else I value so highly about art. Now, I understand not being able draw well or being insecure. I myself don't have skills, and I regularly doubt myself and my skill. I'm still in the phase where I copy references to improve. But unlike the AI activists, I know that all these great art pieces were made by people who were once in the same position as me. So instead of viewing artists as these 'tyrants' the AI 'artists' do, I see them as inspiration to know that if I keep trying, I will eventually be able to be a good artist. I have so, so much respect for the people who put so, so much time and effort into these wonderful pieces. But AI art just takes all the hard work and dedication people put in and basically says I don't care, look at these nineteen images I 'made' in the span of six seconds. I have no idea how someone can be proud of something that isn't theirs. Now, I think AI art can be interesting to an extent. It can be fun to mess around with prompts and such. But the moment someone starts saying that the art is theirs and posts it online, it's not ok in the slightest. And to make it worse, they have the audacity to say that the hard work others put in isn't valid and they are just born that way. It makes me so, so unbelievably angry. Uhm... that was a bit of a rant lol.
