When non-artists stop using it to compete with them?
- constantly 3y agoThis is a very conservative and limiting definition of “artist.” I was always told that anyone can be an artist, even if their work isn’t classically “good.” Now the ladder has been pulled up by formerly inclusive artists. That’s too bad.
- Angostura 3y agoOK, to explain. I used to commission artwork to illustrate articles in the print media. We used to pay well and commission about 5 images a month. These days we’d probably have the office intern tinker with some prompt writing for most of those. Those people have just lost their living

- Angostura 3y agoAnd that’s fair enough. The original commenter asked ‘when artists would stop treating AI as competition’. You are just reinforcing the fact that AI is competition.
- anigbrowl 3y agoDid you have a bad experience in art class growing up? Equating the two smacks of resentment.
- splitstud 3y agoThey're literally equal as classes for this subject matter.
