This.
While ideasguys are generally mocked, they are only mocked by people who try to gatekeep and usually lack those skills themselves, they're usually the entrylevel retards who settle for being shit, aka deviantfart tier shartists.
It's funny that the majority of the time I see people whining the loudest about AI generation are usually the shittiest ones who use their niche "talents" to make fetish shit.
Furries are screeching hardcore over it because their Patreon bennies have been gutted. kek
I saw one particularly hilarious case of this of a furry screeching about some diaper brand supposedly using AI for an adult diaper design... on Instagram on the announcement post that was immediately after a video of their artist DRAWING THE FUCKING DESIGN.
Elitist scum piss me off and ruin so many industries that it isn't even funny.
Worse yet, I've seen so many of these very same people screech at AI for "mass theft", then they go and stream or post videos of them going on to Google and copying images in to canvases and sketching over them to come up with ideas, not even images off of stock sites either, nor were they paying for them.
Some people consider Google itself of mass theft for web-scraping.
Motherfuckers can't stand on some moral highground while doing the exact same workflows the AI performs.
AI is a tool, it's auto-complete, it's a wizard, it's mish-mashing others works together which is an entire art style itself - photomontages allowed the expression of ideas, parodies and so on.
Would I use it in a work? Dunno, haven't found a use for it nor found a good way to integrate it smoothly.
AI code gen is ass but I've sure learned a lot of new techniques through asking.
