I feel like most of the AI hate comes from a lack of understanding of how AI tools actually work.
You can't just say 'Make me a game' and boom you're ready to publish.
There's a process, a learning curve. Just like there was when you learned Photoshop or your engine of choice.
AI art is STILL art.
AI music is STILL music.
AI film is STILL film.
Y'all really think I just walk away after one click? 😂
Most of us don't just press a button.
There's still a process.
There's still a vision.
There's still a human in between.
Some of y'all missed the point entirely.
Not everything is AI generated either when looking or reading it.
Some of us were writing our own stuff before the internet even existed.
AI-Assisted works still takes time.
It takes edits. Revisions. Iterations.
You act like we all just press a button and voilà. POOF!
You have no damn idea.
Some of y'all calling me a boomer? 💀
I was born in the 90s.
I just know my history because I actually studied it.
I'm a millennial. Almost Gen Z.
Grew up on dial-up, AIM, and burning CDs for people
I watched tech evolve in real time.
I adapted every single time.
What's ur excuse?
I have 2 degrees in the arts.
I play instruments.
I've produced music from scratch.
I've made digital art from scratch in Photoshop.
I've edited in Premiere for years.
10 years of composition. Color theory. Storytelling. Sound design.
I've done it the "real" way.
Now I do it with AI too.
It's just a new medium y'all failing to see it.
I get to finished results quicker, that doesnt mean I'm not still taking photos, starting tunes from scratch, and editing something
I've been on real movie sets.
Got the receipts, videos, photos to prove it.
To be honest I don't gotta prove anything.
Most of y'all hiding your face on here anyway.
Real brave behind that avi.
Born and raised in Chicago.
One of the most influential cities in the world for arts and culture.
And if you know anything about Chicago other than it's culture,
is that we don't back down and stand on business.
Y'all scream about IP.
More ethical models are coming out every day.
But I don't see you saying a damn thing about that.
As long as you're not stealing verbatim, what's the issue?
Every artist has been inspired by something.
Every musician has sampled something.
Every filmmaker has referenced something.
That's how art has always worked.
Half of y'all hating on here have filters on every photo.
That's AI too.
Stay consistent with the nonsense.
AI didn't replace my skills.
It added to them.
Die mad about it.
The loudest critics have never made anything.
Not a song.
Not a film.
Not a photo series.
Nothing.
The same people hating now will be using AI tools in 2 years.
Bet on it.
Pretending they never said a word.
Keep that same energy when AI assisted works wins a Grammy or Oscar.
I'll be waving from the stage.
