With digital or traditional or ai art, tools are used. Ai art is not going to go away, but traditional and digital artists are not going away either if they choose to keep doing what they love doing.
Ai writing is in a similar boat to me. It exists and will not go away XD It will also improve what it is capable of writing.
I use to be HORRIFIED at the existence of ai writing tools, but the longer I've thought about things, the more accepting I am with it. I myself can't write like I use to. The time and energy it takes to write something original is hard work. That is why I appreciate whenever a person posts a new sneeze story that they wrote themselves =) Even if a story doesn't have flow or is hard to read compared to other stories, a person who took time to write something new matters to me.
I value an original story WAY more than any ai writing story, but I am not going to automatically get turned off by them. It is honestly funny/fun to me seeing the differences between an original story and what an ai story is. It is easy to tell when an ai story has a basic short prompt given to it and when an ai story has a more detailed prompt given to it.
It also is hilarious to me that art is still way more popular than writing will ever be XD doesn't matter if a story is written by ai or written by a real person, art has a huge advantage of being immediately seen within a few seconds compared to the time it takes to read a story.
Me personally I value traditional pencil sketches, digital art, and other types of art more than ai art, but I am also am not just going to ignore or deny what a person using ai can make.
With the health care job I have I see a lot of hurt or injured or disabled people in hospitals. Disabled people that lost the use of their dominant hand and can't move fingers without constantly shaking, ai art gives these disabled people a way to still create what they imagine in their heads.
No matter what happens in the future I am still going to comment on what I love
No matter if the artwork is drawn by hand, using digital art, a model, or an ai art tool.
