The bit I don't get about AI art is that what I chase after in my own work is the *doing*.

Finding a -flow- where I can kind of see a thing in my head, start working towards it, and it changes continuously as I tell myself a narrative behind what I'm making.

AI art is like instead of going out for an evening with friends, talking, and a great meal followed by dessert then lazing about in a park swearing at bats - you press a button and suddenly you're so full you could burst and have rabies.

And not just art. You just described how I feel about AI in programming.

For me, in programming, the actual physical activity of punching the keys is a large part of the enjoyment. I even love the sound the keyboard makes.

Another important part is the feeling of accomplishment when I look at the beautifully structured, well optimized code I typed in by my own hands.

AI would deprive me of everything I enjoy in programming.
