AI art debate: skill, medium, and gatekeeping concerns

The discussion revolves around the role of artistic skill and the medium in the context of generative AI. One perspective suggests that the medium is merely a complication between artistic vision and the final output, and that people only learned art skills because AI wasn't available. This viewpoint is contrasted with the idea that artists who have developed skills are being unfairly criticized for "gatekeeping." The conversation touches upon the broader implications of generative AI in the art world. AI
