The obsession some anti-AI people have with "effort" as the ultimate measure of artistic value is a shallow, almost superstitious take that misses the point of what makes art impactful in the first place. Equating quality with how hard something was to make is like praising a song for how many hours it took to write, rather than how it sounds. It’s a cope—an emotional defense mechanism to preserve gatekeeping power in a world where technology has suddenly leveled the creative playing field. Calling AI art “low effort” assumes effort is more noble than insight, vision, or outcome; by that logic, a toddler’s crayon drawing is more legitimate than a Dali sketch if the kid sweated more. It’s not just wrong—it’s intellectually lazy.
