>I personally value real artists more

like those using photoshop on a digital tablet with a virtual pen?

Or do you mean people with oil colors, brushes and linen canvas?

Do you see how absurd your kind of argument is? Art is art, if someone spends tens or hundreds of hours refining the skill to produce a very good AI image, I appreciate it.

And do not fool yourself, you can produce a good enough picture in a few minutes but to move from good enough to very good or excellent, you need to experiment, to try again and again, to hone your skill and vision. It takes time and dedication.
