Raw LLM Responses

I have zero skill as an artist. I simply don't have the mind's eye for it, and yes, I'll admit it. I don't have the patience to learn. I STILL despise AI art. I don't see it as a democratization of art. I see it as a devaluation of art. I... LOVE watching real artists work. I love the process. I love seeing how they turn sketchy lines into basic shapes, and then basic shapes into compelling imagery. It's as close to magic as we can get in the real world. The only people who consider AI art to be real art are people who refuse to try and understand art. Art says something about the creator's story. It's a reflection of their unique experience. Their passions and interests. I might not experience it exactly the same way they do, but I can respect it. I can experience it in my way while also imagining it in their way. AI art lacks soul. It lacks... emotion. If AI art were to be perfected tomorrow, and I could get exactly what I think I want, down to the pixel, I would still reject it. Something about imagining what was going through the artist's mind when they created a piece is crucial to my enjoyment of it. To me, the process is just as important as, if not moreso than, the finished product. I'm immensely glad the USCO has determined that AI "art" is uncopyrightable, and I only hope this clamps down even more. If I want some art that is to my specifications, I will always hire a real artist rather than have a machine pump out stale junk. The common defense of AI art using data from real artists to make something being the same as real artists mimicking each other is bullshit. "You inspired me to learn your style!" is a lot more respectful, implies hard work, and is more touching than "I didn't want to pay you, so I fed your stuff to an AI."
