AI's true capacity for creativity in art and writing is its own question, but for a lot of people, having an outlet for the part of themselves that wants to create something that exists in their mind, but they don't have the skill or feel pressured not to exercise it.

Art is looked down on, considered frivolous and unimportant, right up until it's needed. Art is all around us, even a website is a work of art. A car chassis. Video game assets. Even something like a sign or pamphlet. And it sucks that we look at art like it's not valuable or important.

So when I look at people who use AI, one of the common refrains is that it's putting art in the hands of everyone, not just the skilled. Ditto coding or writing or anything else modern ML tools are being pitched to do. And in that sense I get it. It feels like a tool doing stuff they can't or won't.
