better tools will never lead to me being able to paint or draw without significant time and effort that i don’t have invested into practice
Not with that attitude…
In all seriousness, yes, yes they are. Maybe you can’t paint like the medival masters, but you able to open photoshop and make collages/edits to express your inner world a thousand times more interesting and charming. There are people who draw with a mouse. They are expressing themselves, using generic technology, that is for the most part, available everywhere. Do you really need more?
Or are you just want to speedrun and skip all this boring “effort”, “dedication”, and just generate away your “very valuable” ideas en-mass for cheap?
i’m under no illusion that my ideas are valuable to anyone but myself, but seeing things expressed in different ways allows me to iterate and refine. and who said anything about en-mass? maybe it’s for a dnd campaign that i play with 4 friends, maybe it’s just for abstract pretty colours to put on the walls? i’ve had friends do both of these things; things that would absolutely not exist without AI assistance
