I’m curious, what do people think of how Ai Art and image generation has impacted those with disabilities?

Something I find odd that’s not talked about a lot of the discussion of Ai Art, is the impact it’s had on people with disabilities.

AI art gives people with limited mobility a way to create without needing to physically draw or paint. It opens up therapeutic outlets for those dealing with trauma or cognitive challenges. It gives nonverbal and neurodivergent folks a new way to express themselves visually. And it’s creating job opportunities for people who can’t work in traditional environments.

For some of those who just hate Ai Art with every fiber of their being I’m surprised they don’t acknowledge that for a good amount of people, it’s not about replacing artists it’s finally having a chance to be included.

Side note I’m not speaking for all those with disabilities, this thought came from talking to a friend who doesn’t have the use of his hands anymore and using image generators as an outlet for his creativity. Me personally, I’m fine with Ai Art as long as it’s labeled properly when used commercially.
