TIL that my old art teacher would hate what AI is doing to creativity.

Art used to need real human feeling, but now it's just cold machines copying styles without any soul.

Look at how AI lets regular people make art who never could before. It's not ALL copying, sometimes it helps artists get past creative blocks. I saw a comic artist use AI to sketch backgrounds so they could focus on characters. That seems pretty HUMAN to me. Maybe it's just a new tool, not the end of creativity. Why are we acting like this is some huge crisis?

That comic artist's workflow sounds cool, but every major image AI trains on scraped data without asking. So Mason's point about copying is baked into the tool itself.

Except it often copies existing art without credit. That hurts the artists it says it helps. So it is a crisis for them.
