Why crop out the source?

Or is OP the artist?

Tineye has deceived you.

That’s a drawing of a knightly frog.

(I don’t know the source. Search just gives the tumblr #monster fucker tag, which… seems accurate.)

You can put out creative effort and be successful without having to churn out a Sistine Chapel

I never said it was easy. You keep saying you read and then demonstrating that you haven’t.

I think you just want permission to use AI and get your voice “amplified” without having to put in the effort of learning how to do art of any kind.

It’s fine to want that. You don’t need permission to use AI. Do it.

But no one owes you amplification or even a positive reception when you do.

Until recently, the ability to do so was limited by the talent, by that skill ceiling. Those who excelled were heard, those who did not were not.

My dude, I have never seen someone shoot their argument in the foot so hard.

Have you seen The Oatmeal drawings?

You can put out creative effort and be successful without having to churn out a Sistine Chapel every time.

You’re technically correct. The ████ kind of correct.

You must have stopped reading halfway, because he makes your argument, too.

He acknowledges that it makes art more accessible, by removing the tedium so that artists can do the creative work.

If their “creative work” begins and ends with prompting the AI, the prompter is basically saying that all of the work of art making is tedium.

Does that not resonate with you ?
