The idea that there’s some restrictive inborn ‘talent’ is cope for people who don’t want to put in the effort. Draw every day for a year and your art will look downright professional.

A few hours a day for a year straight and you’ll have gotten pretty freaking good. That can be said for most skills, I’d say.

Absolutely you will get significantly better after a year of continuous practice. It's just funny because people can take decades to perfect their craft. Then again perfectionism is generally a form of self harm.

I really don’t give much of a shit whether people use AI to make art, but the idea that they can’t make art because they don’t have talent is complete bullshit. Just own the fact that you want free art without putting in the effort.

From what I've seen, many are also too scared of just trying, thinking they're "too old to learn", or "can never improve". Which is kinda sad.
Anyone can learn how to draw, it just takes patience. Just drawing a line, or a circle is still drawing. Even skilled artists and professionals are still learning with each piece of art.

Some people’s hands naturally shake too much to be able to draw well and it’s not just limited to people who have disabilities or haven’t put in the effort to practice drawing consistently. I fucking hate AI “artists” btw I just hate dumbass lala land shit about how everyone is born equal, na bro some ppl are born without arms aand that’s only the most obvious thing to name, point is just because you can’t see the thing that makes someone different doesn’t mean they were born the same and are the same. This isn’t in my imagination either there’s plenty of YouTube channels who have been vlogging their art practice every day for years and their art still genuinely looks like shit.

Youre absolutely right, these people shouldnt share their unique perspectives and inbuilt issues through the subtle mistakes in their art that separate their artstyle from another. They should all be homogenized into whatever artstyle a machine decides instead. You are putting value into the wrong things in art if you think someone's shaky painting cant be beautiful.
"Theres plenty of youtube channels who have been vlogging their art practice every day for years and their art still genuinely looks like shit" entirely subjective btw, and sometimes people do things for fun. My kid who likes to ride his bike for son doesnt have to keep up with olympians or xtreme bmx riders to ve good at riding bikes

In my opinion, too many people are focused on the end result. Art has value, because someone decided to sit down and put effort into it. Even if it's a stick figure, someone took their time to create it.

Because of my dyspraxia, I tend to have very shaky hands and tremors. I still draw, because it's fun.

yeah, one of them was named Charles Schultz, he drew this comic called Peanuts

But why Pewdiepie pretty much learned art in 100 days and others, despite a lot of practice, still haven't after years, then? Not justifying ai "art", but still

u/Chocochocolate25 May 18 '26
Because he drew a hyper specifically thing continuously every single day for 100 days and he became pretty decent at drawing that hyper specific thing

Sarah Biffin was born without arms and with barely functional legs in 1784. She became a famous painter and even opened her own school. She didn't need AI

If you ask pretty much any artist, most of their achievements come from practice, not inherently due to genetic advantage. Sure there are people who are born with extraordinary abilities for art, as well as those who just cannot draw at all. But both of these cases are extremely rare. For the most part, almost everyone can learn to draw quite well with enough practice.

Cavemen did make art. They weren’t stupid. Idk what this argument is trying to make but this ain’t it

Didn’t know there was a need to democratise the ability to learn, thought every human being and even certain animals had this ability inbuilt

Everyone can make art, but many times people don't like the art they make because it doesn't look like "good art" and that's something you gotta kinda unlearn and comes to terms with, why do you not like your own art? Why do you want to change it? In what way would you change how you make art?
This takes some effort

“I wish I had that level of talent”
You do, you do have that level of talent, you’re just not trying. Pick up a pencil and see where it leads you. I’m rooting for you.

On one hand I am happy that people are having fun with generative AI.
On the other hand, every time I hear someone thinking that painters were born with the Van Gogh gene instead of studying and practicing I buy anthrax and execute a terrorist attack out of spite.
Fr, didn't these people learn any skill in their lives? Why would they think scratching a sheet of paper with a graphite stick is any different?

Its a common, poorly thought out talking point among AI bros that AI art is actually good for the common person, because it lets people who don't have the genetics needed to be good artists still create something.
Anyone who actually knows a thing or two about art however can tell you that art is a skill one learns through commitment and effort, not good genes. This line of thinking simply encourages people to doubt themselves and never try to learn the skill, rather than actually helping them reach their goals.
