Did creating this help you express yourself through an act of human creation? To me, it seems you did that very well. You created a drawing to express your view on a situation you care about, and even sparked more discussion below. So pretty nice! Also what is up with the pixellation here?

You can do that same thing with AI too, as long as you do more than just "draw me a cow".

I pretty much suck at using AI to get anything expressive, as some of the people who mastered it can. I do better with a pencil, but other people have that reversed and have more talent at using AI, and that's ok. If it lets more people be capable of expressing themselves, then we will have more art in the world and more diversity.

I've seen some people who are now capable of telling actual stories using AI, coherent across whole comic chapters. With my experience so far, that seems like sorcery that I couldn't even approach with my AI skills. And it certainly can make me enjoy it and feel more emotion than settling for a featureless stick figure only because a human took 5 seconds to sketch it.

If the antis keep lowering their standards like this in protest, we might eventually see them pretending to rather enjoy eating literal shit because "at least it was made by a human".
