I don't like AI. Sure, it can do things instantly when a human would take months to do it. But that's not the point of art. Art is to express your creativity and thought process. AI strips all that away. Why would I want to look at a painting that was made in two seconds and looks off when I could marvel at one that looks ethereal and I know took the artist weeks of missing sleep and doubting and smeared colours on a canvas? Why would I want to read a flat book with over exaggerated things when I can read one that had wondering walks in a park behind it. That had hours of sitting in a beanbag thinking of another word for "say" because you used it thrice in the last two paragraphs already, that had early morning at IHOP shoveling pancakes into your mouth scribbling an idea onto a slightly dirty napkin only to realize that the idea's already been written before?
AI strips away the soul and heart that makes a piece if work so awe-inspiring. It's dead. Hollow. Utterly useless and undeserving of being compared to the likes of artists everywhere.
