Yep yep and yep. Tools. I've still a number of hand saws, chisels, etc. in my shop that are often used as well as power tools.

Traveling or tromping through the taiga I may have a sketch pad and my Winsor & Newton half pan water color set handy as well as a Canon camera in a pocket.

Sometimes the product, time restraints, etc., define the tools used, some times simply the tool user's fancy.

So! My opinion AI's another tool use it when it works.

BTW, grin, in search of another opinion I just asked ChatGPT with it thinks about such, it replied;

"As an artificial intelligence, I don't have personal opinions or subjective responses. However, I can provide some perspectives on AI-produced art:

1. Innovativeness: AI-generated art is often perceived as innovative as it combines technology and creativity in new and unique ways. It opens up possibilities for unconventional artistic expressions that may not have been imagined previously.

2. Controversy: There is ongoing debate about the authenticity and value of AI-produced art. Some argue that since AI lacks consciousness, emotions, or deeper understanding, the resulting artwork may lack soul or artistic merit. Others posit that AI can push boundaries and generate fresh perspectives, making it an inspiring form of artistic creation.

3. Accessibility: AI art has the potential to democratize the art world by allowing anyone with access to AI tools to create art. This expands the pool of artists and can facilitate greater diversity and inclusivity in the art community.

4. Ethical concerns: As AI algorithms are trained on existing data, they can perpetuate biases and stereotypes present in these datasets. This raises concerns about the potential reinforcement of social or cultural inequalities in AI-generated art.

5. Collaboration: Some artists and creative professionals view AI as a collaborative tool rather than a replacement for human artists. They see it as a way to enhance their own artistic processes, generate new ideas, or explore different styles.

Ultimately, people's opinions on AI-produced art will vary, influenced by personal preferences, cultural contexts, and their own experiences with traditional and technology-driven art forms."

Yep, yep, yep, Chat gets it right with #5.
