On some level AI is now literally a computer-coded representation of the little machine that spits out a food pellet as a reward whenever the mouse in the lab cage presses the correct button sequence.
But if you actually want to be an artist, fine, by all means go for it, and all success to you in your artistic endeavors if you do, but ffs do it by picking up a camera, or some paintbrushes, or a sculpters hammer and chisel, or go learn photoshop and illustrator to an insane level (other art programs are also available), and take the time to properly learn and develop and enjoy your chosen craft; because simply sitting on your ass in front of a computer screen feeding keyword prompts into a random program or website so that it'll quickly spit out 10 variations of some idealised robot vomit conglomerated interpretation of all of the quality artistry that it's been 'fed' with is not only NOT art, but it devalues all of the time and effort and skills of all of the actual hardworking artists out there, some of whom have probably spent a lifetime honing their skills and producing some truly outstanding work in the process - only to see some people now fapping themselves absolutely silly over a bunch of lazy, barely average, computer-generated tat.
