I'm so tired of the whole " #AI has democratised #art " narrative. Cheap or even free creative tools and learning resources have existed for decades. Not wanting to become good at something is not the same as not having the resources to do it.
Speaking of resources, something AI is excelling at is increasing the price of computers by hoarding RAM and disk space, thus making things harder for less privileged creative folks. How very democratic.
@astro_jcmJuan Carlos Muñoz That! One of the reasons I've spent over twenty years of my life on #krita was to make it possible for _everyone_ to do digital painting. The application has a learning curve, but then, so have oil paint, copic markers or even pencils.
Becoming good, or decent at something that takes effort is fun and enriching.
