AI does not create. The promptard also does not create. The promptard orders their AI to cobble together slop using elements of real images.
2026 January 28, u/PLMMJ, “AI Does not create, it only makes what humans tell it to create”, in r/antiaiNTA but I honestly don't care what AI does, it's the only thing that "death of the author" actually applies because while an actual artist may never post their work and/or they've lost their art they'll still remember it and the process they used to make it for years upon years, that art still exists and still has emotional value. Meanwhile anything a promptard doesn't post rots on a hard drive forever, if you generate dozens of the same images you're unlikely to remember one in detail, there's no emotional connection to it and unimpressive because a minimum amount of effort was placed into it, and it ceases to exist off the internet. Also unlike AI I'm not wasting resources by making retarded shit using my second hand art supplies, and if I don't like it later I can paint over it or shred it and make a new piece of paper out of or use it as fertiliser.
2025 February 27, anonymous author, lolcow.farm, /ot/shut the fuck up, mongoloid, and stop with the "artists do x and y" bullshit, cause first of all you don't know what the fuck they do, cause you're not one, second, your promptard nigger shit is as close to self expression as a fucking commission, you retarded neanderthal, don't even THINK for a ZEPTOSECOND that ANYTHING you promp is a reflection of you as it is the equivalent, from your perspective, of giving someone else instructions on what you want to see, a portrait of you is not a portrait made by you, third of all, you don't choose your style, which you would know as a matter of course if you even once in your miserable life picked up a pencil, fourth of all, you're not educating anyone on fucking anything cause you're the most ignorant monkey i've ever fucking seen in my entire life you're WAY out of your depth, fuck off
