AI images take no effort or skill. Change my mind.
To make this image i typed just one sentence.
"An overweight red head women sitting in a mound of trash using a desktop computer in the rain."
It literally took no effort on my part and is worthless slop. It has no value and is total garbage.
The AI is good but trying to say it is art feels cheap.
As I am a useless lump of flesh that has no useful purpose. I can now type some crap in a box and get an acceptable picture, for free in under a minute. Am I an artist? Do I now have real skills?
Sure, I imagined a scene and put it into words. It gave me what I asked for. Do I get to take the credit for the image or the creator of the AI?
If i wanted someone to paint a picture for me would it be right to claim I painted it myself?
Do I hate Ai Images? No.
Do I think the prompt writer is an artist with real skills? No. Though they could be in other ways.
If all you post is AI slop then I assume you have no real skill and like asking others to paint you pictures for your entertainment.
Being able to write a sentence that describes a picture and then getting said picture in under a minute is really cool, but it took the user no time effort of skill to do it. The AI creator is the genius, not the prompt writer.
