Comment on Ask HN: Generative AI Courses for Artistsparent

It's just not true that everyone feels that practicing art is the main point

then it's likely that you're discussing people who don't consider themselves artists. i used to know some folks who did graphic design for advertisements - they didn't consider that art, as the point of the banners etc that they made was to attract attention and get people to spend money on a client's website, not to express themselves in some meaningful way. they were under no delusion that they were creating anything that could be considered near the same category as a Picasso (for example).

Text to image is a very efficient way to express yourself meaningfully.

disagree. it's a very (environmentally) inefficient way to mass produce meaningless, generic pictures which are poor stand-ins for authentic expressions the human condition.
