Comics Community (OC) AI 'art' and the future

Could be controversial but I'm just gonna say it... I don't like AI... and for me it was never about it not looking good. There are obviously more factors to this whole thing, like about people losing jobs, about how the whole thing is just stealing, and everything like that but I'm just focusing on one fundamental aspect that I think about a lot... I just wanted to draw what I feel...! 🥲🥲 Sorry about the cringe but I actually live for cringe 💖

AI image generator fans, whether they consciously admit it or not, don’t believe art has any value in society. They think it’s a silly little hobby that has overinflated emphasis, when art has had huge impact on human society since the very beginning.

It’s a problem that in part arises for the generally poor media literacy of many today. Personally I think art and creative expression needs to be a required subject in schools and I’m not just talking about elementary school.
