I got shit for using gen ai i create my fantasy football team logo. Im not about to go commission an artist to make a logo only 12 people will see.
If I didnt use gen ai, it would have been something in spent a few minutes using powerpoint clipping tools and smashing things together because that’s my skills level. Ive got way too much stuff on my plate and no desire to be good at art.
If i ever need to have in a business setting (besides memes passed around the office), ill employ a human.
Exactly my point. Im not taking anything away from any artist.
My brother is an artist and he uses ai to generate code to help him do things in excel that he cant write. Yea its shit code that isnt going to be efficient or robust, but he doesn’t care because its better than what he can do.
Im an engineer who has no artistic skill. I use ai to generate shitty pictures, even though theyre shit, because its better than what i can do
I don’t want to try. I dont have a desire or a passion. I have no need to get better. I also dont have time. All of these are true and not just excuses.

Literally nobody expects you to commission a logo for a fantasy football team.
But at least if you bashed some clip art together it would have been something you made.
Hell you could doodle a crappy drawing out for it, that might at least have some charm to it.
Hardly a necessary use case for a thing as you said, 12 people will see.

Well, neither of you are gonna get any better at it by doing it this way.
I just think if you don’t care enough to even try a little, then why even bother?
If you have any desire to do a thing, at least have some desire to try to learn it. Don’t pretend like you’re just so busy that you can’t.
It just sounds like excuses because you don’t actually want to try.

Well yeah that’s the problem right there, for some reason you want the thing, but not in a way where you have to put in any effort.
And you’re doing fantasy football, you have the time. It’s not like you have to work 1000 hours to draw a fuckin doodle.
But whatever, go ahead and make your crap that nobody will care about if you must. I don’t care to convince you. Enjoy your passive slop.
What’s wrong with that?
I never said there was anything wrong with that, just outlining what the alternative would have been
You didn’t say it, but you implied the hell out of it.
