Yes and the important aspect imo, is the intention. not if you used a paint brush, a camera, or ai.

i think a lot of the general pushback on ai is the utter lack of intention behind a lot of it's usage. we call it "slop" but it's really a lack of intent. and we can feel it, with ai-isms in written communication, the subtle insanities of ai generated art, and 4000 line functions that could be 40.

but it doesn't have to be this way.
