Too many people have an instrumental view of art. They want an image of a tree or anime tiddies or whatever and as long as the object functions as such. they don’t care about anything else.
This is the core of it, really. AI lets you skip the creative process and fast-forward to the end product, and people always forget that “the boring parts” are where a lot of important decisions happen and the art is lesser for letting a statistical model make them.
That fact is why I am immensely disappointed, but not surprised, by how popular LLMs are among programmers.

“thing is pritty” is all that matters.
