I think the implication is that if you take away the AI tools, the AI bros can no longer make art. Whereas a "real artist" can make art from just about anything.
I've also seen people write that AI "democratizes art" and "makes art more accessible", when making art is literally the most accessible human activity besides breathing.
To just make anything sure, but if you've got a specific idea in your head you want realized, well that's going to take development of skill and talent. Breathing requires no skill or talent whatsoever.
I've had ideas in my head, concepts for artwork I wanted realized, but lacked the skill to actually bring it to life. Before GenAI, my only option was to pay to have it commissioned which gets prohibitively expensive really quick for an individual.
That's what people mean when they say "makes art more accessible", getting the idea of exactly what they want in their head realized without having to drop 200$
Absolutely fuck companies using it when they can pay for all the art commissions they need or have artists on staff though
Wait, so it’s ok for you to avoid having to pay for art, but not companies?
