> Downloading a cracked copy of Photoshop and checking out a book from the library on how to edit photos is only somewhat more difficult than learning to use Python and write programs that generate art from some model.
How much practice would one need after doing that, before they're able to match the quality of some of the AI generated art? Not all of the AI generated artwork is perfect, but some of the art would take the average person years of practice to be able to match. Some art requires more than a cracked copy of Photoshop and a weekend of reading a book you borrowed from a library. You may be surprised to find that some people spend years honing their craft.
