AI art is real, but the AI artists aren't humans

I have no problem using AI to generate an image, so far long as you do not pass it off as your own work. Ctedit the AI artist

You can 100% pass off the idea behind the image, and even the prompt, as your own work. Prompting is a skill and it requires practice and creativity. But you cannot claim the image as your own creation alone. You also need to credit Stable Diffusion or Midjourney or whatever AI artist you generated the images with. Yes Stable Diffusion is an AI artist.

Antis do the same and I honestly think it's fucked up as well. They draw over an AI piece and say "Yay, I added small banana in corner of image. My own work now!"

But I digress. Please credit the AI artist as your rightful co-author of the image.

**Edit:** **TL;DR:** Use AI but just say you used it. That's all I ask. Give AI the credit it deserves as s co-author.
