Overheard a guy at the coffee shop say his AI art generator "understood" his style better than his own hands
I was standing in line at a local cafe on Tuesday and this guy behind me was telling his friend about how he trained an AI on his portfolio and now he just gives it prompts for final pieces. Said he hasn't physically drawn anything in three months and that the machine "gets" his composition choices better than he does. It made me wonder if we're heading toward a point where AI becomes more a collaborator than a tool, or if people are just outsourcing the parts of creativity they don't enjoy anymore. Has anyone else run into artists who treat AI like a creative partner instead of a shortcut?

Actually Richard, that part about "three months without a brush" might be kinda misleading. The guy could still be sketching or doing thumbnails on paper, just not final pieces. Some people use AI for the rendering part but still do the initial messy drawings by hand. Not saying it's right or wrong, but it's not like he's never touched a pencil at all.

Three months without a brush sounds more like a case of burnout or creative block to me, not a genuine partnership. I mean, if the AI is making all the composition calls, where's the actual artist in that mix?
