No, just see it as another medium . Extremely overhated
Tbf tho lotsa popular styles that show in AI art am indifferent towards (even dislike outright . Example : this’s somehow even greater assault on the eyes than Alegria illustrations) , but that’s bcus it’s really hard to create (unique|distinctive) styles with current tech (source : tried developing style for >1 yr (find|combin)ing artist tags in furry models → (genn|tweak)ing ~20-30 training imgs Once satisfied → testing outputs of style LoRA trained with PixAI and result on merge models don’t lꝏk like the training data at all . PAINFUL) and not criticism of genAI itself
What if there’s some thing very specific you need that stock imgs can’t easily provide ?
