I require a computer to create art. I suck at everything art related. Can't draw, can't paint, can't play a musical instrument. If I have an image in my head, the best way to create it, for me, is to tell an AI what I want and then look through the results for what is closest to the image I had in my mind.

You are less of an artist than the person comissioning an artist.

If all it takes to be a "real artist" is drawing proficiently, then every ai artist who has also learned to draw is a real artist and every performance or installation artist who can't draw is not an artist.

I don't like AI slop, but this argument against it just doesn't make sense.

It isn't saying that drawing is the only art form, just that having the ability to create art from scratch is what makes someone an artist. Drawing was an example, performance art, music, and other forms of art are also criteria for being an artist.

Hell, you don't even have to be proficient if you are able to create art that conveys something.

every ai artist who has also learned to draw is a real artist

Yes, they are an artist if they are able to create art although the label only matters in reference to the things they create. It doesn't mean everything they do is art.

Using AI prompts is like using a web search to find art someone else created, it isn't creating art. Does writing down an idea for a book make someone an author? No, it does not.

Of course Ethel guy who can draw a dragon was with coal does nto need AI lmao. The guy with two legs an a working spine doesn't need a wheelchair.

Yeah. All I want is 1 million big titted dragons. It's an art piece. I thought about doing some huge multi-year collaborative and inclusive enterprise where every piece had at least one person's attention, then thought 'fuck it, couple of hours with midjourney. Same thing really'.
