    You’ve tried, yes, but have you learned? Practiced? People don’t automatically know how to draw. They practice for years. Give it a few more thousand tries.

        However, it’s not really free, is it?

        1. It’s stolen
        2. It uses enormous amounts of resources
        3. It steals your creations to feed itself
        4. Go to Step 1

        Say you want to make a living off your creations. You’ve gotten really good, people love it. You can actually make bank for your hard work.

        But this machine stops you. It takes all your creations and all the money for itself. You get nothing for your efforts.

          1. Calling what AI does “stealing” is an opinion, not a starting point.
          2. AI uses a lot of resources. Big deal, so did the artist Christo, who liked to hang gigantic curtains of orange cloth across canyons, wrap hillsides in it, etc. So did whoever made the Sphinx and the fucking pyramids.
          3. It steals your creations to feed itself. So did Picasso, whose images of people have been called “derivative” because they looks like El Greco’s.

          Most art looks like previous art, because artists (like pretty much everybody) learn by observing other people’s work. “Oh, but AI doesn’t produce anything original it just rehashes other people’s work that it steals!” Yeah, how many truly original movies have been made in the last 30 years? Imitation is what people do, and there’s nothing wrong with it. It’s how civilization has always worked. AI just does it faster. Computers do lots of things faster. Do you use a calculator? You unethical bastard! You should hire an accountant LOL!

            Wow. Ok. I’m not going to argue with you further because your understanding of AI is odd at best and at worst just plain wrong. Enjoy your prompts.
