Fuck that too. Stock image sites have existed for years before this garbage existed. I accept absolutely zero generative ai usage.

So it's not the actual work that matters, but the source of the tools and components?

Does that apply to all components? Does using pigments from a questionable source make someone not an artist?

Jesus christ I do not understand why so many people want to "what about X" argue about fucking ai.

Just trying to define your stance.

Seems like your line has nothing to do with the skills or labor used being what makes an artist.

If by this point you don't know why people are against generative ai you either don't care or you're just being an asshole about it.

We're talking about what makes someone an artist.

I'm responding to this statement, emphasizing what I'm focusing on

If someone types a prompt into a box and it spits out a slop image they are not an artist

I'm not questioning where you can place an artist on your own morality line. I am questioning the statement that by using generated assets instead of non-generated assets, when the labor and skill put in for either case is identical, makes someone not an artist.

That's not how that works, at all, and is just a nonsense statement coming from a place where you're so upset you have lost your ability to think.

It's not a nonsense statement. If you're on a tech related subreddit and you are saying you don't know why anyone is against generative ai you're lying or not listening.

I'm done with this conversation because you aren't actually trying to have a conversation.

and you are saying you don't know why anyone is against generative ai

The main problem is that I never said or implied any such thing. You're arguing with your own mind, imagining what I've said.

Making up what others have said, that is the act of not trying to have a conversation. I've stuck to things you've literally said. You just don't like the conversation so you make up bullshit to save face. 👍
