My friend's dad said AI art is just 'fancy photocopying' at a BBQ last weekend
He's a painter and thinks it's stealing jobs from real artists. I argued that tools like Midjourney are just new brushes, and the creativity is in the prompt. He said 'a machine can't have a vision, kid' and walked off. Where do you stand on AI as a tool vs. a replacement?

That "machine can't have a vision" line is interesting. But what if the vision is in the human editing? I've seen artists use an AI image as a rough sketch, then spend hours in Photoshop fixing details and adding their own style. The AI part is maybe 5% of the final work.

Exactly, it's just a starting point. @emmasmith gets it, the real work happens after the AI part. I use it for quick concepts then paint over everything. That old painter's vision is still driving the whole process.
