To generalise that every generative AI model out there spits out only slop too, that's just objectively not the case. Again, this feels like black and white thinking based mainly in emotion. The likes of MidJourney is great for generating posters and concept art.

Expand commentWhether it's a painting, a drawing, a song, a novel, or whatever, the whole point of art is that the artist created it. A person looking at the art could say, "Wow! You did that?! It's amazing." I just watched an animated film made in AI called, 'Kitsuni' which looks like a Miyazaki film, beautiful. Had it been done by hand, I would be impressed. But knowing it was done with AI, my only thought is, "Meh." I have hundreds of art books, from Renaissance Masters like Michelangelo to the Art Of 'Into The Spiderverse.' I can't express how much I love drawings and paintings. It's why I became an animator in the first place. But now AI can create pretty much the same work in seconds. You may not be able to distinguish an AI piece from a hand crafted piece, but no one will get to say, "Wow! You did that?!' And when we've lost that, we've lost art.
