What someone practiced can do with nothing, and what a newbie can do with nothing, drastically differ.

These dipshits are trying to communicate that this tech offers half-decent results. Immediately. For no effort. They could surely do better, themselves... if they spent an entire year trying. Opportunity be damned, most people just don't want to. Developing a skill is a process that sucks. Vanishingly few people learn to paint portraits, and code games, and play piano. But any idiot can now use a program to do a half-assed job of all three.

Experienced artists, programmers, and musicians will recognize the flaws. They can declare the results useless slop. But it's being generated by people who would do even worse without it.

Anyone can cook too, but I bet you'd rather have a generic regular meal than something burnt to a crisp.

That's the vibe the napkin gives.

No, I would rather get a range of meals between bad and amazing that people put effort into making rather then the same canned mediocrity of a machine.

Here is a video of a disabled artist drawing with their mouth:

Final Result:

Please do not insult disabled artists like that.

Oh yeah, I forgot everyone is born with inmate talent, time and privilege.

wrong, you're just too much of a coward to make shitty art and say it's yours. it's a hurdle that all of us had to get over

Ok, we need to redefine what art is. Artist is. I'm so lost..

You could run it on your own PC instead

Then instead of a subscription, you're paying for a gpu and power. Not everyone has the money for a computer, but pretty much anyone can afford a pencil and paper.

Conversely, Cocteau wrote "Film will only become an art when its materials are as inexpensive as pencil and paper." Cameras: pretty cheap. Things to point them at: haven't changed much.

If you're using this tech to replace pencil and paper, it's a hard sell. If you're using it to replace Hollywood, it's a steal.
