My aunt lost it when I turned our family photo into AI art

I tried an AI art generator on a picture from our reunion. She got mad and called it cheating, arguing it hurts real painters. How do you see using AI for fun stuff like this?

Your aunt's worry about hurting painters is off. It's for personal fun, not a threat to their jobs.

My uncle painted houses but always said personal projects kept his skills sharp, @anna_white. Guess it's all in how you look at it.

Actually your uncle had a point people miss. When everyone does their own painting for fun, it cuts into small jobs that keep local painters going between big contracts. A neighbor doing their own trim means one less call to a pro who needs that work to pay bills. It adds up across a whole town. That lost work hurts more than people realize.
