| who aren't photographers and just need a picture with a simple
| description i.e. "thing A in front of thing B."

| Art (I know this is a massively broad term) I think has

| motor movements. But, we can all see. Take the motor stuff out
| and anyone can become an artist.
|
| Artists do not like this because now they aren't as special.
| And if you know any artists, you know they love being special.

| In reality art is about process and spending time just like
| software. Yes the art world is distorted/snobby and
| gatekeepimg but in the same sense the software world is
| like that too because of financial incentives. AI will
| disrupt everything momentarily after which we will go back
| and appreciate the craft behind various human endeavours

| Personally, the fakeness of it turns me off. The pictured subject
| doesn't exist in real life.
