But really I’ve done AI "art" and the hardest part is really putting in words on a search bar. Photoshop needs some skills and time, photography need some skills, but a 5 years old child can do AI. Why always bring up economics, I don’t care about that. It ain’t about fear of anything, it’s about AI being the contrary of art. Art comes from the human spirit, imagination and peculiar skills not from a computer all based on the same system.

So you've generated some images? Great!

You're the type of person to learn how to hold a paint brush and declare painting to not be difficult.

&gt;Photoshop needs some skills and time, photography need some skills,

No they don't. Not compared to traditional mediums. That was the argument previous generations had about those tools. Photography **now** involves enough information and skills to fill a Bachelor's and sometimes a Master's degree.

But it takes no skills whatsoever compared to painting, or pencil drawing. According to you, that means photography isn't art.

&gt;Why always bring up economics, I don’t care about that.

Because it's the easiest, and realest, way to frame the debate to non-art normies and art elitists. It's also, by far, the most common purpose for art. By far. Like at least five orders of magnitude more art is produced for profit than pure artistic expression.

&gt;Art comes from the human spirit, imagination and peculiar skills not from a computer all based on the same system.

A) Each model is different and models can be customized or changed to suit your needs, zero models are "all based on the same system." That's similar to saying all artists use the same system because sketch drawings are almost always used as a jumping off point into whatever medium the final work will be in.

B) Even in your most basic, pointless foray into AI art where you touched the surface and decided without evidence there's nothing underneath; you really already proved yourself wrong in terms of human spirit, imagination, and a peculiar set of skills.

Even if you just stick to whole image generation, a minor feature of modern AI art systems, you need to come up with the concept, you can express your 'human spirit' or not like all art (99% of what any artist makes has no human spirit, trust me on this. Basic exercises and throw away drawings for poses don't exactly convey emotion), and you definitely need to learn how to define the features you want, exactly, based on the model's training data to get anything close to what you were imagining.

Really though, AI art has much more to offer than whole image generation, and I would've thought you'd explore a least a little bit more before deciding how to hold the paint brush was all you needed.
