An art major's half asleep doodles can receive copyright protection whereas an image created by a million dollar supercomputer running the most sophisticated AI model possible cannot.

Extremely rare artist x lawyer crossover to dunk on the AI bros.

AI art tools democratize art by empowering those who weren't born with the affinity, talent or privilege to become artists themselves. They allow regular people the freedom of expression in new dimensions. They are amazing.

They are not made to replace human art. They are made to supplement it. The "artists" who feel threatened and offended at its existence are probably not very good at their art.

If you think arts and humanities are useless, you probably lack an imagination.

Like completely.

I won't say you're useless, because simple minded grunts are needed.

Humanity wouldn't exist without the arts.

Ah yes “the arts”. Definitely the point of humanities, and nothing to do with categorizing the world into “important people” and “simple minded grunts”.

Humanities students don’t read these days, and it shows.
