So, AI is here, it has already infested AO3 even
About to have a polarizing take I guess - STOP USING AI TO MAKE ART, but also idk man, AI ART IS KINDA FIRE!!
The problem is the fact kids type in a prompt and boom - nightmare beyond your wildest imagination, either with 26 fingers or the driest vocabulary ever. THAT is horrible, unacceptable and the downfall of art!
What the kids SHOULD do is use little tiny pieces of whatever AI makes when their brain is not working - having trouble (or time crunch) drawing that bird perched on your character's shoulder? AI! (but also aw man, you should prob look into studying birds when you have free time; for future projects!)
Same with writing (cause I've seen a few ChatGPT written stories): don't type in prompts, ask it to edit your work for you (if you overuse a word, if your grammar is shit, thesaurus, etc) or ( and use this one sparingly) if your sentence is clunky you can ask AI to reword the same idea, brainstorm with your computer future overlord (but who am I kidding, current overlord too)
If you're an artist that types in prompts, you're not an artist, you're a problem.
