But they conveniently leave out that it costs money to do anything with AI. It's more like "open to anyone with a credit card." The vast majority of people don't have computers powerful enough to run generative AI models locally, and even then, server farms with a billion GPUs will always produce better results

This means that people have to rely on corporate platforms where you buy tokens that you use to get pulls at the various AI slop slot machines, hoping you get something decent. The mechanics more closely resemble a gacha game than any kind of artistic process

By contrast, learning how to draw, animate or make 3D models costs nothing. There's free tutorials and tools everywhere, and you can also just pirate commercial ones if you want

idk to me it's more like really advanced collage.

it's piracy if i download five games. it's still piracy if i rip assets out of them and put them in another game, even an original one. imo that's fine until i try to sell it, and depending on who i pirated off of it ought to be fine even if i am selling it, but of course the law doesn't agree.
