    Yeah, no.

    First AI right now can create very decent images in seconds for basically free, and it only will get better.

    Second, AI can do much more than that: translation, Explaining a text in simpler words, help write code, semantic search… Creating poems about armadillos and talking like a pirate are fun novelties, but not the goals.

      Hahaha look how you get downvoted for stating the obvious. Amazing community here.

          Good things you stated some? Why not have an actual discussion instead of a pissing contest?

            That stuff is not free, for example. The energy and water usage is simply not economical.

              I said basically free. It costs a fraction of a cent to generate an image, that would take a human a few hours at least.

                What if I tell you that the effort that gets put nto the image is a vital part of art?

                    You just said it: you value more the “product” part of art. Not the “art” part.
