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

You are mistaking art with being a skilled craftsman. And your expectations are too high on yourself.

Art is accessible in that you can express yourself and find a medium to do that but it doesnt mean you are just gonna be great at painting or line drawing. Thise are skillsand most people are lucky enough to have a couple things they are truly skilled at in life. It doesnt mean we can do everything. We work together as humans. A person born without lega can provide skills to the world but cant just build their own wheelchair and all the medications for themselves.

You can not draw exactly what is in your head, boohoo. Im sorry but im not gonna have sympathy for you being human and not getting to do everything you ever want to do but you can work together with others to help make that possible. I have an incredible tattoo that looks exactly how i imagined it in my head but couldnt possibly draw it myself or tattoo it on my own body. But i went to an artist and showed them my shitty drawings and they turned it unto something amazing and someone else put that ink to skin.
Its my art. I am expressing myself through it but i dodnt expect to do it all myself.

Stop expecting yourself to be able to do everything and stop making it so that you dont feel you can work with others and accept limitations. Thats how life is. Full of limitations and disappointment but there is less when you work together instead of thiniing you are gonna be superman doing it all on your own.

no, I can't. i've tried. If i say "me sad" that's technically words but it's not adequately communicating my interiority.

And your expectations are too high on yourself.

jesus christ for the tenth time i'm not expecting to be michelangelo. I'm worse than every highschool baseball player in the world but i can throw baseball-sized objects well enough for when that cop car across the street needs a broken window.

apparently you can read about as well as i can draw because you have constantly ignored my expressed desire for competence in this matter.

You are the one stuck on it being that you draw the things you want to see. It is not my reading comprehension but just that you are completely insistent that this is the method to express yourself.
People can express they are sad poorly with words but well with flower arrangements or sculpture or hair styling. Art is absolutely accessible but you insist it isnt since you cant do what you desire to do.

There is a guy in the comics community that literally just has the wordt looking doodles but they get their point across. I have seen lego comics and cyanide and Happiness used clip art of a circle, a square, and some drawn lines. Who the fuck needs to be Michelangelo? Thats a craftsman you seem to be comparing yourself to again.

Im saying that you wont find competency in something just because you want it and you won't find artistic expression of yourself in a knockoff image generator. I would ignore your issues with saying you want to fly but still suggest that you get a pilots license. You are insistent you preent in a way that might not be possible and it will not make you more competent just make you reliant on being sold a tool to pretend you are. Its ok to not be good at something you just dont like that as an answer.

And yet you think comparing yourself to a dumb comic book villain is a good thing?

Does the lizard seem happy? Dont be shocked when someone tries to stop you then.
