I think that art requires suffering. If there was a way that could make an art piece without suffering and spending any time on it, it would be worthless
I'm not even talking about studying it, although it does also requires a lot of effort, but the process of making art, process of trying and trying again and again, making errors, fixing them, making more errors, until it's something you at least fine with it. It applies not only for drawing, but for every artistic expression
I think that if we remove that part from the process of creating art, we strip it of any worth.
That's why hand-made stuff is still relevant, hand-made mug might be worth more for you because you made it, or someone you love made it, or you just bought it from some weird funny looking guy who makes mugs and sell it for overprice, even though there's factory made objectively better mugs for objectively better price.
So, maybe AI does the same thing as human brain but faster, just like factory machines can do things better than humans.
But the time, effort, the suffering of making something is what gives art any value in my opinion.
Just like, well, any kind of work requires effort, but if in production faster and cheaper is desired thing, art has different goals, I think that human effort to just make pretty picture or depict your idea is more desiarable than whatever AI might provide with art.
Although I do agree that if your goal is to depict your idea and you lack the skills required but you really want to, using AI is a way, especially if you lack time and/or will to commit to learning art, and you lack finances to commision artist.
But if I see a painting I can be impressed with artist learning all the skills required, all the details or even lack of them, it is cool. If I see ai generated image the best I can say that it might be neat idea, I could not possible comment on execution, just like I couldn't comment on a factory made mug. (Well I could say that factory is cool thing too, and that AI can generate pictures is pretty cool too, I just can't agree that it can be considered art)
In art, as I see it, the skill of the author is equally, if not more important than idea.
Because whatever idea you might put in it, people will intrepret it however they see it unless you just spell it out and if you do what even the point
Sorry if it's a bit incoherent I'm also thinking while writing..
