At our library we teach people how to do art, including crochet. If the person is able to go to the library then they aren’t being gatekeeped from learning art.
My alternative? AI art isn’t even art so at this point we’re just debating what is a better skill: crafting or prompting.
For one you understand that way more libraries have computers than crochet classes?
If someone want high quality digital art, teaching them crochet doesn’t help them.
Can you give an actual concrete reason why AI art isn’t art? Because the only arguments people make for that case are either esoteric nonsense about “soul” or their argument is so broad it ends up also applying ti things like photography.
Hold up, you think the definition of art is too broad if it includes Photography but not broad enough if it doesn’t include Generative AI? Based on that I don’t think it is possible to give you a reason you would accept.

This is a statement of “value” not “values”. That someone wants “digital art” but there is no connection being made to their “values”, they are simply getting what they want.

This conversation of “art” reminds me of the difference between “value” and “values”: https://davidgraeber.org/articles/value-the-antropological-theories-of-value/

Art is not a commodity, AI is.
