Comic Con banned Al art. https://Inkd.in/dEeA7GFZ
On one side: Artists fighting to protect craft, credit, and originality.
On the other: Creators finally able to bring ideas to life without mastering the traditional tools.
Al is dividing the creative world in two.
But hasn't this happened before?
Was Photoshop cheating?
Was digital photography?
Is CGI less "real" than practical effects?
Is animation less valid than live action?
Studios are already using Al.
Cinema is evolving.
Music, design, apps - everything is shifting.
We're not just witnessing a tech shift. We're living through a cultural evolution.
Yes, we "should" protect artists.
Yes, we *must* talk about ethics, consent, originality.
But should creative expression only belong to the trained?
Al is giving more people a seat at the creative table.
To build, paint, compose, animate - without gatekeepers.
Maybe we'll need two categories:
@ *Human-only*
2 *Al-assisted*
Or... maybe not.
Because creativitv should
