Does nobody take joy in creating something themselves anymore? Everything has become about the end result, and it's a shame. I'm not sure what we're loosing, but it's something

That assumes that this is something people asked for, and not a case of MS shoehorning AI into everything to look "AI-native" to pump their stock. Microsoft has long had a 'vote for features' thing on their support forums [0]. I can guarantee that not one person has ever said that MS Paint needed an AI makeover.

I know several locally renowned artists, the kind that make big murals in celebrities mansions, who have switched to AI work They wanted to express themselves in the output that the AI was giving them all their lives I don’t think it’s that complicated, if you want to express yourself a certain way, manually, you still can. Now more people, including professionals, can express themselves the way they wanted

Someone of us engineers would like to create (reasonable looking) art, but are so bad that we could use as much AI help as we can.

Yeah, I feel cynical saying this, but who wants to create art that looks and feels just like everything else?

  Most people. But also, I used to do midjourney, and I know art history quite well, and mixing my knowledge with midjourney, I created really good and original stuff, because I knew how to write the prompts. Instead, I feel that with OpenAi, image creation is really crippled by copyright. But I also generated cute and interesting stuff - but it does look made by AI.

    But if you're generating anything with any AI model, can it be considered original? Unless you've built it off of your own past art, and even then, it would only create from past works.

These tools empower me to express myself. I also continue to pay professional artists for their work.

Sometimes the "end result" isn't my end result I want to create a game, but I have no interest in creating art and models, much less programming physics, netcode, abilities, etc I'd prefer to create the games rules, mechanics and interactions (aka, the actual game experience). But I am forced to do the above because the gaming industry is lagging behind in DX it barely changed in the last 10 years Every "art" has many sub-processes that are themselves art. Making paint, brushes, canvas, etc. But does anyone complain about artists not taking joy in creating their own paint after foraging for some rare purple spitting slime? If you view one art form as a tool for your art, so be it
