FWIW OP I get where you are coming from and I share the sentiment. The problem is that everything else aside, AI images just look like shit. I remember that for a while the ghostbusters tag on tumblr was inundated with AI art and while it did look like the actors, that was the only thing it had going for it. All the details were wrong, the perspectives looked like ass, the colors were shit. If you're in a comic book or cartoon/anime fandom then I get it, it's easier to generate images when you're just trying to do simple shapes. But AI images always look like garbage, I have never seen any AI art that is actually decent. What I'm getting at here is that you deserve better than shitty AI. And if you don't have money to get commissions then you only have one path that is actually rewarding and will get you what you want at a low cost.

What this technology is doing is sifting the "haves" from the "have nots" in this case it is sifting the people who are willing to work hard to learn how to draw and make fanart vs the people who are not willing to work hard to learn how to draw. I know how much it sucks but at this rate you will be better off being one of the "haves" and start the artistic journey.

One thing I've noticed with the growing prevalence of AI is how much some people just really fucking hate artists for daring to have skills they don't. Like just seething with envy, insisting that art is both not worth that much but simultaneously impossible for the average joe to create. AI people assume the best part of making art is having art, not the actual making. They don't want to pick colors, they don't want to plan out a background, they don't want to experiment with poses and styles, they just want to 'have stuff.' And sometimes they want to get followers and attention for it and pretend that prompting is a skill, because they hate so much that this 'easy' thing is too hard for them but now they can throw it in the faces of the people whose hard work they're benefiting from that they did it *faster* and *easier* so there. it's honestly depressing. The vast majority of people can draw, they just never tried and assume that art is one of those things that's beyond you if you never learned it as a child (and if you learn it now you won't be as good as the best because if it's not the best it's worthless). It's just the whole AI culture of how fast and efficient and amount is more important than soul and skill and human creativity.

nayrt, but like... you do realize that wanting to have stuff is literally why all sorts of things like meal kit services/craft kits/premade cookie dough/boxed cake mix/instant espresso/etc. exist, right? Lots of people like the end result of things more than they like the actual process of making it, there's nothing weird or depressing about that and it doesn't make the people who DO enjoy the process somehow superior. Like, sometimes you just want to dump some canned pie filling into a premade pie crust and have a pie, you're not interested in the entire process of making/rolling out the crust yourself.

A lot of what you listed... Existed for disabled people and then capitalism said you can't sell to such a small, niche market so they rebranded it. AI isn't even that. It's to cut out paying artists for things entirely. So they don't have to pay you for making the comics, the animation, the concept art. So they can dump you and keep all the money themselves. It's a tool to make corporations richer and you're providing them labor to make it better.
