Good evening ladies and gentlemen of NG, today I have a small question that I’m not so sure how to answer:
Am I an asshole if I tell people to stop using AI to make art?
Sometimes, I like to look at the Undiscovered Artist’s tab because I want to see if there are any artists that deserve to be scouted.
And from time to time, I find an artwork made with AI.
I sometimes tell the artists who make these artworks that it would probably be better if they made art without the help of a machine.
I don’t say it with the intent of making the artist’s day worse, I just think that artworks made by humans , no matter how simplistic or masterful they might be are still better than something made by a robot. But after some time I started to think that maybe it’s kind of a shitty thing to go around and tell random people to pick up a pencil instead of typing a prompt for an art generator.
What do you think?
Is it ok to tell people to stop using AI and make real art instead or is it a bad thing to do?
Please let me know.

AI is not allowed on the newgrounds art portal and use of it for art is a deletable offense. You have done no wrong lol, but if you really feel bad about this, just report for ai use and move on with your day.

Thank you for the advice!
I’ll report AI use from now on.
