I've seen people say that Gen AI is a tool. NO. Things like Photoshop, Blender, etc etc are tools used by artists. With Gen AI, the AI is the "artist". You're just the plebe commissioning the piece. I can't imagine anyone being proud of something they came up with using Gen AI.

It allows people who were never artistic in the slightest to hijack a hollow imitation of the satisfaction one feels when they actually sit down and draw or paint or compose something they think might be halfway decent.

One of my coworkers was so impressed that her boss made a form in response to a conversation they had. His response was “I just made it”. Upon hearing this my first thought was “no you fucking didn’t, AI did”. I’ve found AI allows people to fake it until they make it.
