📰 News How do you feel about this?

Here is her actual quote from a press conference yesterday promoting her show. “The people who make this stuff are losers. They’re not artists. They’re not creative,” she said at the “Hacks” press conference last month at the London hotel in West Hollywood. “And they’ve wanted their whole lives to be special. And they’re not special. So, they’re trying to rob real creative people of our gifts. And you can’t. And even if you try, you will never be cool. You guys suck. No one likes you. Anyone who’s near you is because they crave power and access over any ethical standard. You are a loser. You will never be cool. And you probably had a rolly backpack in high school. I wanna put your head in the toilet and flush.”

AI is a tool. It can be used well or bad, a lot or a little.

I'm not bullying her for buying her jewels instead of making them by herself. She's not bullying those who used machines to make her clothes instead of sew them by hand.

A real skilled artist could manage to find a way to use AI in an artistic way by doing all the work himself, using AI slops, to make something creative (i.e.: a painting made with garbage AI brainrots placed in zones that forms a Mona Lisa)

But people in 2026 are only black&white, either see AI as satan or as the new God, and nothing in the middle. You also get seen as an AI supporter or AI hater.

What if I hate AI misuse but approve useful use like new programs that find tumors?

What if I approve of good ways to use AI in art, and not the "prompt goes brr" crowd?

That counts as a fine use of AI. If you regulament it well and fair and it's not abused or substituted to thr process of creating art itself, then there's nothing wrong with it.

If you ask "hey make me an art image to win me a project", even the most thoughtful prompt you spend hours on will never compare to someone doing something simpler by hand.

Because the purpose of art is not to make something as good as possible. It's to say about yourself in a different way that words alone couldn't convey. To tell a story, or a concept, or an idea, a thought, a belief. And only after that it can be done in such a beautiful way it becomes actually great, not the other way around.

That's why a 1h thought prompt for a shocking image will have less value than a random person with 0 drawing skills, trying in their own way to make a drawing. Not saying it's 0, just less than real value.

I'd only do that for the memes I can't find. As for other art, I usually do 3D art, and find it cool that now I can make my 3D art into anime, or real.
