My point is, I think people are jumping to discussions without having a concrete idea of what ART or ARTISTS means, or rather means to them.  
Art is subjective, I personally don't like the term, it means nothing to me really, most anti Ai people that attack others have a definition of art being a craft where someone can make something unique with tools available to everyone, people that defend ai make the argument that anything could be art as long as some person did something.  
For me it's a dumb and endless discussion, I think both sides have a point and are wrong, some people see Ai images and defend them for how fast and easy it is to produce, I'd argue that not having experienced the satisfaction and joy of making the drawing or song or video etc.. does not put you in a position to speak to others and compare the results, what if someone wants to go through that effort, why make a homemade loaf of bread when there is a supermarket one block away?  
On the other hand, why chase down people that are having fun making images on a website? If I had a relative that was like this I wouldn't curse at them and do anything i could to stop them but maybe would try and get the point I made before across.

In conclusion art is subjective, therefore the claim ai art is art holds no meaning to me, I think if you want to show that then prove that ai images can have maybe a personal touch or intention, or generate something to someone, but please stop posting the same image of your sona holding a sign

Why do ai enjoyers feel the need to be seen as artists?
