Ewww I know who I'm blocking

Please name specifically what bothers you — then we can talk about it calmly. Otherwise I respect your decision.

AI is a creative tool. Develop skill when you use it and you can get some entertaining results. However it's a bit like the morphs of old, can be used to deceive or to imagine.

yeah this it can be very useful but you dont have to use it

Your average creative will always hate generative AI. Theft and environmental impact aside, it's seen as being lazy. The average creative put in the work to develop their skill. Went through the ugly stage to get good or even great.

I've been writing since I was 5. I'm very good at what I do - look at the stories on my profile. I learned my craft, and I'm always improving.

You can't get that with generative AI. It's a crutch. When you come across a problem, you do not have the incentive to find a creative solution that helps you grow as a writer. You do not have the need to choreograph a scene or research a topic to make a more interesting story. Instead, you'll type a prompt into Chat-GPT or whatever else you are using and it will spit out a safe, computed answer.

This is true. It is easy to have a basic premise and show it to chat gpt as a while. When i was a kid my dad was managing some game design work for a small business. For a few years i would write ideas for stories and mechanics systems for level bosses and stuff like that and it started out looking like silly 10 year old stuff (because i was 9) but after a couple years it was decent stuff and my dad told told the storyboard designer to include some of his little daughter's stuff. I appreciate the work that goes into the creative arts and am still trying to learn to create even more compelling stories because i like game story design as a hobby. The main point is as a whole i just feel like us creative types turn into rabid dogs the second chat gpt is mentioned. Ai is inevitably going to get even more advanced and people need to work out how to use it as a tool rather than endlessly complaining. There are a lot people who use it to try to compensate for a lack of creavity but it is ultimately a tool.

Human-in-the-loop (HITL) for visual work means humans retain control at every step — from concept to final polish:

Concept & references: You define style, composition, color palette and provide reference images; the AI produces variations, not finished decisions.
Prompting & iteration: You supply targeted prompts, evaluate results and direct follow-up modifications for desired details.
Selection & composition: You pick usable elements from multiple generations, combine parts and manually adjust proportions/poses.
Post-processing & retouching: You correct anatomical errors, perspective, textures and colors in an image editor; add final lighting.
The same principle applies to texts — prompting, selection, editing and stylistic finalization by humans.

That's a way to create content! Not Art, though.

That's a legitimate position — many distinguish between craft/technique (the HITL process) and art/authorship. Human-in-the-loop describes the production workflow; whether something qualifies as 'art' also depends on originality, intention, and aesthetic expression. The quote attributed to Robert Henri — 'The object isn't to make art, it's to be in that wonderful state which makes art inevitable' — gets to the point: that's what it's about, and that feeling can be brought about. Why, and how people judge the result is of no concern to the artist.

All Artists care about how people judge their Art! Its called feedback!

Also, its not just about the process. Its basically about the ownership of the idea.
