Rant: My brother thinks AI art is just a fancy filter, and it got me thinking
We were talking about a new AI image tool I tried, and he said 'it's just copying stuff and mashing it together, like a kid with a collage.' That hit different because he's a graphic designer. He argued it lacks real creative intent, while I think the intent is in the human writing the prompt. It made me wonder if the innovation is the tool itself or how we define the artist's role. Has anyone else had a conversation that made you question what 'creation' even means with AI?

Ever see a kid trace a picture and then color it in crazy? My uncle called that cheating, but the kid still made something new. Your brother's take feels like that old argument. The tool changes, but people still fight over who gets the credit. Makes you wonder if we just get stuck on the word "artist" instead of looking at the thing that got made.
