The ”AI democratizes art” argument is always a disingenuous one. Art is already the most democratic form of human expression available. There’s zero barrier of entry to just express yourself in any of the myriad ways humans have invented, music, drawing, painting, dancing, it’s quintessential to humanity. There’s no need to democratize something that is already, by definition, universal.
I don’t need to know you to infer things about you. Your belief that art has zero barrier of entry is everything anyone who even has brushed the world of art needs to know that you never have.
Oh, I’m sorry, who’s going around staking the pencils? Are they too expensive for you? Send me your address and I’ll ship you 100 of them and about 50 brushes I don’t use. Did someone take away your crayons as a kid and you never got over it? Did you not have the brain power to figure out how to poke at the mud with a stick?
Tell me, where is this barrier for you to pick up anything that makes a mark on something and then go make a mark on something? Who’s keeping you from drawing?
Well it’s pretty simple, a child would understand it. I can explain it to you if you’re having trouble.
Making art puts you in the art world.
It’s very easy to get what you need to make art.
Arguing that someone isn’t from the art world is pretty silly when you think about it.
AI generated images aren’t art.
So they don’t even help you get into the art world.
Especially because it’s very, very easy to get started making art, it’s pretty silly to argue that AI is helping you.
I know that was a lot, so if you need to think about it, you can come back to me when you’re really, really ready.

Ask me how I know you’re not in the world of art.
First, rude, you don’t fucking know me.
Second, just watch this video.

You think grabbing anything that makes a mark on something and then making a mark on something is art?
Yeah, pretty much. You should try it, it’s pretty easy.
Then AI art is art ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Nah. There’s more choice and thought put into a child’s scrawling than any ai generated image.
I know logic isn’t Lemmings’ strong suit. But you can’t set the bar for something as low as it can possibly be and then be elitist about it.

Stop being a dick.
Stop talking about things you don’t understand
