you should try using a sewing machine before comparing it to AI
What's even your point? Making AI art is easy therefore it couldn't possible have any value for any purpose?
I'm a software engineer by trade, a discipline where AI is also heavily encroaching on and there's a danger of my job being automated away too (I'm not completely convinced it will be automated away but let's assume for the sake of argument it will). It's also a job that used to take a lot of skill and even creativity.
Unlike lots of artists tho I understand this is the same historical process that happened time and time again and that there's nothing inherently special about my labor that makes it exempt from this historical process.
