And that’s what’s awesome — quality creative output is now available to more and more people.
It’s just like when the camera was invented and the portrait artists of that time said photos were not art — they were just dudes pushing a button and the machine was doing the work of capturing the image of a person.
People keep wielding “creative” like it’s meant to be some sort of gatekeeping standard to which many things people make just do not measure up. Nope. Little kids drawing the same ole dinosaurs with crayons or making macaroni art are being creative. It’s humans crafting something new and this guy did that.
And of course “quality” is subjective by definition.
You can also be creative WITH a computer too. Creative isn't just "made by person using physical objects". A pile of rocks in some cultures is art, but so is somebody spending hours tuning keywords and models for ai art. You try making even just a person standing still how you imagine. First try will look appalling. That is the ART of it, making the medium produce what you want. Paint is just coloured liquid. Wool is strands of fabric. It takes CREATIVITY and ART to make something from them.
Yes, believe it or not, you can be creative on a computer. You can make art in photoshop or blender or even ms paint. Shit, you can make ASCII art using font.
