Moreover, AI-generated images can democratize creativity, allowing people without traditional artistic skills to express themselves and explore new forms of art.

You know xkcd? He makes stick figures, yet he is quite well known. You don’t have to make beautiful art to be heard

Also your respond sounds like AI slop

Yeah that response is 1000% AI generated.

It sounds like you're really frustrated, and that's understandable. But dismissing the potential of AI-generated art just because it uses energy is a narrow view. Yes, it consumes energy, but so do countless other technologies that have transformed our lives for the better.

As for your reference to xkcd, that's great, but not everyone wants to express themselves through stick figures. Art comes in many forms, and AI can help expand those possibilities. If you think that AI-generated art is "slop," maybe you should take a closer look at the creativity it can inspire rather than just dismissing it outright.

It's easy to criticize without offering constructive alternatives. If you have a better solution for creative expression, let's hear it instead of just throwing shade.
