@ferupity He stood unshaken, a voice in the storm
A man of conviction, a heart reborn
He spoke the truth when the cost was high
He lived for Jesus, unafraid to die
You are not a creator, let alone a "real" one.
AI can't create anything because it is based on stolen existing work from actual creators and just regurgitates it as patchwork. Sure, yours looks better than most of the slop, but it's still slop.
It has absolutely no creative value. You just keep choosing the "best looking" iteration created by a machine until you're satisfied. Even tracing would be more creative than that because at least you use a pen to trace the lines yourself.
"But I wrote the prompt ☝️🤓"
If writing prompts makes you an artist, then ordering food makes you a chef. Commissionning an artist makes you one yourself, after all, they drew your idea and you asked revisions, right ? Well of course not.
Calling this 'hard work' is just insecurity, because you know you could never achieve that without AI. You're delusional.
