But he did, though.

I thought that was the whole point of him bringing it up.

He said, we have tools (like magic lasso) that let you skip the boring part of art, so you can get to the creative part. AI can be like that; a tool that let’s you skip having to do backgrounds so you can focus on flying rat monstrosities.

He doesn’t use it that way, but he acknowledges that you can.

It’s just that most AI “art” usage is skipping putting in creative effort at all.
