A ream of printer paper and 5 fineliners are about $10 and there's tons of online tutorials. Nobody is gatekeeping Art you just refuse to try actually doing it.

I'm not just talking about programming. If you want to give up doing your job to Anthropic and OpenAI, that's your business, just get the hell out of other fields that weren't asking for your help.

No dude I'm good. I respect my peers in art too much to use a machine that was built by stealing from them.

You people don't care about human mastery or excellence at all. So what if we produce more stuff cheaper and faster? That wasn't the problem. We're making it harder for people to get rewarded for genuine effort and dedication and in exchange for alienating us from our work we get a lot of lower quality crap. It sucks!
