>It turns out that making digital art actually requires art skills

it used to. now, you're only skills in art need to be to properly describe the scene and let some generative model do the work for you. i hope we continue to have distinctions made from digital art created by a generative model and not actually give the artist title to the people driving the prompts. to me, that's no different than me telling Bob Ross that I want a painting with a happy little bush in the left corner, a waterfall in the right, with a nice cabin in the woods in between them and then saying I was the artist because I was able to describe the scene.

One of the first drawing skills people traditionally learn is perspective. Bob Ross knows it.

AI can't do it, doesn't understand it. Generative art makes excessively beautiful wallpaper, right now.

Let some degenerative model do the work...

There, FTFY.
