I'm not entirely sure how disliking AI Art has anything to do with "keeping it cordoned off into tiny little zones owned by whoever's got the money".
That's a good argument about
digital art, because before digital painting you'd have to rely on purchasing expensive art supplies (you obviously can make amazing art with just a biro, but it's a lot harder). With the ubiquity of touch screens you don't even need a tablet to get started, and art school is less of a necessity because there's so many resources out there for teaching yourself. It sounds like what they're saying is they don't want to practice and get good at art, but that's not anything to do with money (sure if you're working two jobs you won't have much time but lbr if you've got the time to be playing around with AI art you've got the time to practice art).
Also been using AI art for 7 years? 7 years ago the only AI Art generator was Google DeepDream, that one that spams dog faces everywhere to show how image detection/object recognition works and was only ever an entertaining novelty.
I love this. It's such a beautiful example of cope and seethe because the guy goes from "W..wait, t-transwomen can get... periods?



" as if they weren't already familiar with all the arguments about how intestinal cramps = periods because hormone injections are cyclical blah blah blah - immediately to "shut the fuck up, you disagree because you don't understand gender, also you're hatecriming me and also you're going to get banned lol" when someone answers his question.
Really demonstrates how they're pretending to be naive so they can play out being educated, getting headpats for being a good girl and then talk about how they're getting a rush of euphoria for learning that they're true and honest valid women - and how quickly that charade drops when it's undermined.
Kinda like those "UwU I was going downstairs and realised I was holding my boobs as I walked and discovered I have massive honking mommy milkers and instinctively cupped them like real women supposedly do all the time, I'm a true and honest woman" - as if they weren't constantly scrutinising their bodies for the tiniest HRT induced changes and meticulously cataloguing it with heavily posed and filtered selfies.
