Unless you painted the Lascoux caves then everything you've ever done has been copied from someone. Whether it is surrealism, cubism, impressionism or any other -ism, someone has done it before you and better. Case in point, a lot of people would say ripping off images and models from 'A Wife and Mother' was the cheapest and uncanniest slop imaginable, then having the brass neck to charge for it? Scummy. But at least it's not AI eh?
There's a lot of absolutely shit AI stuff out there, but there's also a lot of absolutely shit drawings/cartoons/paintings out there as well. To just label all AI as cheap slop is just silly.
