Let's call it what it is: automated plagiarism. These models were trained by scraping billions of copyrighted images from working artists without consent or compensation. It is not a 'tool'; it is a slot machine that regurgitates stolen labor. Tech bros engaging in prompt engineering are not artists; they are clients ordering a commission from a stolen database. It devalues human effort and creates a sludge of soulless content that all looks exactly the same. It is anti-human.

Gatekeeping art is over. AI generators like Midjourney are the printing press of our time. They allow people with incredible imaginations but no manual dexterity to finally express themselves visually. History is full of people screaming that photography wasn't 'real art' or that Photoshop was 'cheating.' This is just the next tool. The human soul is in the prompting and the curation. If your art can be replaced by a machine in 5 seconds, maybe it wasn't that original to begin with.
