this is part of the reason why the blunt anti-AI movement pisses me off. It lets those of us who didn't get to dedicate a bunch of time to mastering visual arts to get an OK representation of an idea made. Not all of us have commission money.
The greater impact, how it's used etc are valid points of argument. But it's nice to see some interesting ideas rendered well, and it's nice to be able to put in stupid ideas and see them made. And not all of it is draining oceans and making people homeless.
Art is creation and process not result. AI generated images are results that aren't created. Using time or money as justification for using this abhorrent "tool" is just you trying to put an emotional twist on the judgments from actual artists.
As a professional artist, time and money are always a concern of my employer. The process is fundamentally unimportant to them; it's the result that matters. We need a different word for the personal meaning of artistic process in service of the muse rather than money. As a chaote, I'd just call it magic, but that word has a lot of baggage.
funnily enough, in turkish the words for medium specific arts like visual arts and music have seperate words to culturally significant or expressive works. "Sanat" is the word for the latter, we even have a genre called "Türk Sanat Müziği" or "Turkish artistic/culture music"
EDIT: For example, "Resim" refers to drawings and paintings, "görsel sanatlar" visual arts, including sculptures (heykeltraş). Sanatkar is artist, regardless of medium, müzisyen is musician, etc.
