Worth repeating: Claims of "AI" democratizing anything (coding, creative endeavors, etc) are always BS. The thing locking out people from doing that is not having the time/resources.

You want to democratize coding/art/creativity? Give people paid time off to do it and access to infrastructure. Easy.

@tante Furthermore: People are not creating, they are commissioning.

"I used Da Vinci to create the Mona Lisa." - some Medici, probably.

(I'm not entirely sure about the Da Vinci- Medici - Mona Lisa connection. Feel free to give me a more historically accurate example. And feel free to use it in discussion about AI "art". :) )
@DerGiga Pope Julius II used Michelangelo to decorate the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel
@Anke Thanks, that would be understood as well and it's historically accurate. <3
I should use that in the future.
