I wonder if people inject the "tool" discourse into these discussions because they think it has some redemptive power. Like where is the difference between "AI is an expedient to producing images I don't have the talent to make or the money to pay for" and "I use AI as a tool to produce images because I have an affirmative belief in the goodness of AI"

Enumerate the tools that one may use in art that are driven by technology, and you’ll find many that are driven by advances in ML.

Inarticulate and indiscriminate hate towards “AI” is often a lack of education on the landscape of creative technologies that exist.

Not everything is an AI slot machine trained on scraped data.

But I’m sure you know all about that, and have no interest in delineating.

So are you enumerating, or...? Why am I doing this for you?

I doubt that. It's more often the result of interaction with the AI products themselves than a lack of articulation, discrimination, or practice with "creative technologies that exist."
