When you first see what image-generating AIs can do, you feel bad for real artists; after playing around with it, you envy them.

I mean, if it’s some attempt at a passion project I guess it could be? But I’m usually just letting my GPU churn out cool wallpapers or character art in the background while I watch YouTube. There’s no real soul going into it, but I’m not pretending to put in any, either.

And that’s totally fine. I could see using it for that purpose too. I think there are a fair number of people who might like to be artists, but they think it’s too hard, and so they look at ai as being a shortcut.
