Raw LLM Responses

What about the people who use AI to speed up their working process? Because I'm pretty sure that when you're doing art for living, your deadline is in 2 hours, you've been drawing for 9 hours straight already and you have the background to do because the person who commissioned it said that they absolutely need it, you are not exactly liking what you're doing. In this situation, you could generate a background and use it as a base to stylize, tweak and clean up. Why is it better than doing everything from scratch? If you prompt it right, you get both the color pallete and the layout to go off of. And then you can stylize and draw over it however you want, changing the base's art style so much that you can't even see AI anymore (which is great). Or you can clean it up and blur it. The commission is ready and your cracking wrist can finally rest. Plus, you really think AI will replace artists? Ducking come on. The AI may do it beautifully, but it needs something to train on. How will it train if it has no new arts to learn off? Second, art is subjective, and AI will never replicate actually creative solutions. It can do average well, but it will never have a genius idea or create something new. This is what people do. The jobs AI will replace will be the mechanical jobs which can be automatized - factory jobs, for example. Any job requiring sentiment or creativity will not be replaced because the robot is not capable of that. You can calm down. Also I get all this rage about "I can get an art in less time and for free", because artists may charge ridiculously high prices for commisions (to the point of one small piece costing 80 dollars, with prices climbing from there). It does take longer, and if you don't like the result, the artist may demand additional payment to fix the drawing. People don't want to pay a ton of money for one art piece they may not like when they can get the same good-looking picture in 8 seconds and tune it exactly to their liking without having to fight the artist ("I've already spent a few days on your drawing, shut up and take my hard work even if you don't like it or pay me extra 20$ because I have another commission to do and I can't waste more time on you"). And if you look at this from this angle, then really - why should you pay money to some random person for them to spend a few days drawing an art you might not like, when there's a free/cheaper option available to literally anyone, this option doesn't argue, obediently remakes the work on demand and doesn't try to make you change your mind about something in the drawing because "eh, too hard". For some sentimental concept of soul and emotion put in the drawing (when you're doing 4th commission this day, the only emotion you can give is existential dread)? Logically, AI IS more effective for many people. But if we talk about basic human decency, attacking artists for trying to make ends meet is cruel. You may simply not buy their artwork if you don't want, no one forces you. But bullying is just... Well. Dumb as hell. Also people are incredibly biased towards AI, which is not good for (surprisingly) BEGINNER ARTISTS. Because the plank now is so low, that the only check for the art being good is "Is it AI?". Even if the artist tries to replicate an AI drawing, and it ends up looking horrible with messed up proportions and uneven line, people will still call it a perfecr masterpiece just because the other opponent is AI. Point out the obvious flaws so the kid could get better? Nope. It's perfect, just because they want to show a... Machine, that the real artists are better.
