AI takes the process out of creative endeavors when the process is a huge part of why humans do art. Yeah the finished piece is nice, but doing and improving a skill is so rewarding. It's frustrating, sure. Heartbreaking at times. But when you remove the process, what's left? 2/5
A result that, while perhaps easily monetized, doesn't really carry the same joy or humanity in it. It's just a part of pointless consumerism at that point. This is of course not touching on the ethical points (climate impact and blatant theft, to start). Which honestly should stop folks. 3/5
As someone who stopped creating for a long time because I was frustrated with it getting 'hard' and not having the time to devote to it, I can understand why some are tempted by AI. And it can be incredibly frustrating to not have what seems like talent for something you want to do. 4/5
Especially if you're told to switch gears or find a different thing to do. Or if you thought you were 'talented' but now improving takes a lot more effort so giving up seems like the only option. I promise you AI will not fix any of that. It'll just make things worse for everyone. 5/5
