@haikushack@mastodon.social but people did create the art.

Every bit of AI art represents an instance of a person using the AI as a tool to create art.

It's like being against paint brushes because paint brushes can't feel so the art the paint brush creates is to be rejected.

No, the mistake is viewing the paint brush as acting on its own, just as the mistake here is viewing AI as acting on its own instead of being an extension of a human.
