yea using it as a tool is fine i think using it as the font of creation a little dubious conceivably it could be a source if creativity if wielded properly but idk if anyone can really do that

I will say that I do not agree with the idea that "AI art isn't art" It is very obvious, to me, art but it's not your, the prompter's, art It's not the robot's art, the robot has no creative spark the robot does not express, it merely does
but AI art is a collective art project, conducted by the people who actually make the damn things I'm not assigning it value, I think it's dogwater, but it's very obviously an expression of human creativity, I mean literally what the fuck else could it be? They made sand paint pictures of futanari squirrels with BIG bazongas
I also think hitching one's wagon to "AI art is aesthetically decroded, this is why AI art immoral and repulsive" is a very quick way to get fucking one-shot because it means you have to eat the bullet when you see AI art you actually like before becoming aware it's AI slop, and acknowledge AI art is actually not all that bad If its value and even the morality of its used is tied up in the quality, then as the quality improves, you lose footing And the quality has improved drastically, as is evident by the fact everyone keeps saying shit like "I hate having to wonder if something's AI or not online now" You wouldn't wonder that if it was actually aesthetically uniformly bad and obviously AI
AI art isn't repulsive because it's low quality and mass produced, it's repulsive because it's a \\\ something akin to a betrayal Being presented with AI slop is a dagger in your back

it doesn't matter if the dagger is really pretty, it's a betrayal all the same someone said "look what I made", and you trusted them, and they didn't make a goddamned thing
