The ”AI democratizes art” argument is always a disingenuous one. Art is already the most democratic form of human expression available. There’s zero barrier of entry to just express yourself in any of the myriad ways humans have invented, music, drawing, painting, dancing, it’s quintessential to humanity. There’s no need to democratize something that is already, by definition, universal.

Ask me how I know you’re not in the world of art.

Oh, I’m sorry, who’s going around staking the pencils? Are they too expensive for you? Send me your address and I’ll ship you 100 of them and about 50 brushes I don’t use. Did someone take away your crayons as a kid and you never got over it? Did you not have the brain power to figure out how to poke at the mud with a stick?
Tell me, where is this barrier for you to pick up anything that makes a mark on something and then go make a mark on something? Who’s keeping you from drawing?

You think grabbing anything that makes a mark on something and then making a mark on something is art?

Yeah, pretty much. You should try it, it’s pretty easy.

Second, just watch this video.

I don’t need to know you to infer things about you. Your belief that art has zero barrier of entry is everything anyone who even has brushed the world of art needs to know that you never have.
