I thought he was holding a blunt in the thumbnail lol

As someone who has used AI art and who is learning to draw, I can assure you I know exactly how untalented I am. This hokey nonsense isn’t aimed at me.

…the rest of the fucking owl

Give someone a choice to be handed a cool $1M or to work for it and tell me what you think they’ll chose.

These assholes don’t care about humanity or ethics. They want their free “talent” points.

Both the war and the battle were lost before it began. Original art and creativity is circling the drain and not long for this world.

I’m so glad I won’t be around to see it disappear entirely.

This is literally true. Sure, your memory might tell you that you suck at drawing, but that’s what it is about. A lot of it mental. You might not be able to draw something perfectly and if you draw a face, oh boy will it look like shit, but can you draw a stick? Can you draw an apple? How well can you draw an apple? How can you improve on that? Artists sure as hell didn’t start out the way they are now. They have histories on their art, look at their progression. And be sure to know that they had to work up the courage to share their art and didn’t do so after years.

You’re a human. You developed to do this kind of stuff. You had to learn to write, so you did. If you like writing you even learned to do it well. If some random ass guy can learn to draw with their foot, then you can learn to draw with one of the most precise evolutions of the animal kingdom.

Who is this for really? Like people who are here, presumably hate AI, and to the person the meme targets, this is obviously just condescending while simultaneously minimizing the amount of work that goes into actual art.

I feel this is like when synthesizers started threatening musicians back in the '60s with the Moog and then samplers and drum machines in the '80s. Or something.

Not going far enough. Give them a sharp rock to etch cave drawings.

Lol the upset people itt are EXACTLY who Superman is talking to

NGL in the thumbnail I thought the pencil was a joint lol

I agree with the message though: learn to draw, even if you suck at it you made it. It’s your creation. And there’s value there, you put the effort in, you brought the idea into this world. It’s your little imperfect bundle of joy to show the world.

A picture can say a thousand words, make it and let it speak.

I’d rather have imperfect personal creations than perfect slop

The issue isn’t with curious individuals using AI recreationally (not my cup of tea though). The real problem is that corporations and enterprises use it to cut corners; i.e. big multinationals using AI for their ad campaigns; media outlets using AI illustrations instead of real footage; news and reports written completely with AI, and so forth. In short, (generative) AI is being used by capitalists to cut on labour costs when real humans could’ve done a better job.
