Because Nano Banana is better than wasting time for someone who isn't a 10 year veteran of MS Paint arts.

I'm tired of this kind of argument from anti-AI folks.

"Why not pick up a pencil instead?"

What if illustration was never "art"? What if it was always just a rote mechanical skill and the art itself was what the person was trying to communicate?

Maybe the technical aspects don't matter. Maybe it's the message we're conveying, our taste, our curation, our unique lens?

Yes. The art is "take a comic I didn't draw and replace some text." The pro-ai crowd is certainly brimming with artistic ingenuity. So much insight! Thank God they're boiling the oceans for this.
