What these people don't get (REFUSE to get) is that even the scratchiest, shittiest, worst outsider art is more meaningful and real and of artistic value than anything made with AI.
"But i can't draw/write/paint" whatever. Do this. You might learn something.

The thing about even the most amateurish art is that it’s vulnerable. It’s revealing. There’s a reason you chose those colors, those textures, those likes, that composition. You might not be aware of it, but you’re telling us who you are.
What does AI tell us about you? Nothing worthwhile. You’re posing layers upon layers upon layers of other people’s stolen work, crudely amalgamated and sanded down until the only thing left is either textureless slop or an unintentional nightmare.
I think this is essential to why I say generative AI isn’t art, and why it matters. Art is a deeply human endeavor built out of our collective need to connect with one another and to understand ourselves and how we came to be. And that matters a lot to me.
