> The barrier to entry for a creative person to benefit from AI is nothing.

The barrier is low, but the benefit is negligible or even negative. You're outsourcing your creative process to some mega-corporation. What you get back from it might be interesting to you, but it won't be to a lot of other people except maybe as a novelty, because it's from the same megacorp that sells its services to everyone else. I know some people seem to genuinely enjoy the outputs of the AI models now, but the novelty hasn't worn off yet.

Also, congratulations, you get to live with the stigma of being an AI slop pusher. And if you try to pass the work off as your own, good luck hiding the truth for the rest of your life, because you'll never regain trust if people find out.
