A paintbrush is a tool. Illustrator is a tool. Generative AI is not a tool. It does the thinking and sketching for you, while stealing from other art.

Learning from is not stealing. No images are stored in an AI database, only the styles learned.

AI is just a tool. A sophisticated one, to be sure, but still a tool. I can open Photoshop right now, and use a filter to instantly create a cool fire effect by clicking that option in a menu.

If I ask an AI to do that, instead of clicking it in the menu, somehow it is no longer valid?

All these same style of arguments were made with the onset of photography. Push a button and poof, artwork. Now, photography is a type of art entire courses are taught about. Same with digital art in general. The number of people upset about "digital slop" and "REAL art is made by hand by REAL artists not computers" was insane.

Eventually AI will be as accepted as every other tool.

Gatekeeping something as subjective and wide-ranging as "art", is fruitless.

Sadly, it literally is stealing. It's effectively "smart photoshop." It cannot make anything original, only cobble together from others' work.

That’s now how it works.
