A.I. IS A TOY NOTHING ELSE

I want to share an opinion. I totally understand if you any or all don’t agree with me on this one. That’s fine. And before I start, yes, I use editing tools to edit and format my work in regards to cropping and tint of the drawing to match a hard copy page, but I do not like AI art. Not a fan of AI storytelling either. It’s not real. It looks cheap overall without soul.
Stitched together from random places to make something quickly and without any trouble. Looks fairly believable but the details lie to show errors and flaws.
AI is getting better, but memory tells you Mr. Rogers never met Randy Savage in the modern day as both are dead. There was never two Peter Torks in The Monkees. Dick Van Dyke didn't punch Jimmy Kimmel no matter how real it looks if you see the slip slap together glue job. And Spider-Man does not have four fingers on one hand.
AI is encouraged as an option with voices even but still no humanity in it. It’s lazy. Research fine but not creating. AI is no edge. Fine, you tell it what to make and may look great but it aint yours.
You cannot claim any of this ever as a personal accomplishment cause it’s never yours. Drawing is a brilliant expression flaw and all. I have drawn my pelican, Barnsy, over and over again with each somehow being different.
Each of my comic strips I post here are drawn and lettered by me with editing by Kelly or Katy. Not perfect and sometimes I must start over because of a mistake or drawn in a moon to cover up. A computer can't do that cause it doesn't know how. It serves to order not to make another smile and feel.
That’s good because a computer can copy but will not try again for self improvement cause it has no emotional stake. It cannot understand the subtle details of a drawing or music, but can replicate on a dead beat level that seems fine at a glance but will realize
The Beales should not mimic ‘We are the Champions’ if half of them are gone and no ones in a studio going over and over to make it right by their creative standards. Computers have no creative standards, just commands to shape well but cold.
No xerox or vending machine required. Not doing virtual mad libs here. A person can make mistakes which create something beautiful. You build or write something with your talents and skills. It’s a testament of you not the ability to press a button.
AI can be fun make art for fun but it should be nothing more then be a toy. It takes the mind out of reality and denies God of showing us how our own talents are a million times greater. May take time and practice but the joy is getting there.
Tech should be an assistant not the leader. No heart; no passion; no soul; no reasoning and merely a program to tell it is creative when it does not understand the deeper meaning.
