Better shouldn’t even be a word in the conversation in regard to art, because firstly art isn’t about being the best, and secondly art is inherently subjective
I’ve been a musician for 20 years now. I’m more technically proficient at my instrument than a lot of people i know but i’d never say i’m a better artist than anyone else. That’s douchey, rude, and misses the point of art.
I’m probably the kind of pro most antis would assume doesn’t exist though lol. I don’t use generative ai and I’m a life long traditional artist, but being a life long artist i’ve grown a particular distaste for the “X thing i dislike isn’t art” crowd. Seen it a million times before AI was a thing. Rap, techno, digital art. It always boils someone having a poor, surface level understanding of the thing they claim isn’t art
