"oh but ai makes art accessible"
Art is the most accessible thing on the world. Do you want to draw? You don't need an ipad or fancy materials, you can draw with cheap markers and on any kind of paper. You can draw with a stick in the fucking sand dude.
Ai doesn't make art, it steals from artists and makes soulless, meaningless pieces that resemble something already done by someone else. If you want to make art, WORK for it. Making art is not a gift you're born with or something you deserve, it's something you work on perfecting, you put your blood sweat and tears into every artwork until you get something slightly good.
Art is meant to have a soul, to have a story, a protest, to mean something. A machine can't do that, and it shouldn't do it.
