many artists despise the use of soulless generative ai in art, but i'm curious about how they feel about non-generative uses of ai in digital art, such as removing the background of an image - the type of task that can be painstaking to do manually in photoshop, and isn't a direct act of creation

  1. i suspect it is similarly reviled since any pain that goes into an artistic work - however trivial or dispassionate it may be - is a crucial part of the process. like, yes ai could make it easier, but it's not supposed to be easy. the sweat is just as important as the blood and the tears
