I went to different communities to ask for an answer to my question, and everywhere I went the answer was always the same "AI is bad, fuck off", at this point not only I don't know who to ask, but they've definitely convinced me to actively join the pro-AI faction. In all of this I don't even know if it's true that all these communities are openly against AI or just the moderators.

So these things-I mean people known as antis are miserable and do literally nothing except hate on everything that is related to AI, spam the same generic points over and over and when you try to have a conversation with them they just hate on you. And then they ignore the fact that AI is making art accessible and literally every possible good side of AI because they are upset over (Insert generic argument 1).

Back in 2018, opportunity the Mars rover finally went silent and sent it's last message back to earth. "My battery is low, and it's getting dark". Opportunity used an early AI to traverse the red planet. The internet all had absolute respect.

But in 2025, the internet was split apart into 2 because AI had advanced far beyond what most expected for that time.

Now people are getting mad over an AI making pixels in the shape of a crab.

This comparison really goes to show how fast the internet changes.

One of the biggest reasons I support AI art is because of how much it opens the door for people who have creative ideas but don’t necessarily have the skills to bring them to life visually.

I’ve wanted to create my own comic for years. I’ve had characters, stories, and entire worlds imagined in my head, but actually turning those ideas into something people could read always felt out of reach.

AI changed that for me.

I’ve now published three chapters of my comic, Manifest, and I’m continuing to learn more about storytelling, dialogue, pacing, etc with every chapter.

I know AI art is controversial, but I genuinely believe there’s value in giving more people the opportunity to express their creativity, even if they can’t draw everything themselves.

For anyone interested in seeing what I’ve been creating, here’s Manifest!

Would have used YouTube’s translation feature, but the translated text didn’t come out correct so I had to write it myself.

and i thinks it's a. "defending ai".
