AI Art - it's so sad lol

At least someone using a camera CAN be an artist. Takes real learned/acquired skill AND good gear to get a damn good shot.

I still can't find an use case for a legit AI artist where you can't draw parallels to something that already exist – reference pictures/figurines, AI in its current form is too much of a crutch compared to a wooden posing doll or storyboarding sketches.

(there might be but I don't think about it too much)

Some AI art is okay, but when it just utterly PILES up on sites like pixiv where I'm trying to find fanart of certain characters I love, it gets in the way of art drawn by humans.

And besides… they all have the same generic detailed anime-esque look to them.
