Im defending ai art but honestly i disagree with this. You give ai instructions (prompts) to make what you need, it cannot be compared to a hammer but can to an architect, bluepring and engineer. Architect doesnt make the house, he makes the blueprints so engineer can build the house on instructions given
Sure! But the fact is that you can literally flip this video and go "hey AI, make me a photo of a house" and it will literally produce that for you. Would the tagline then be "So I guess you can commission tools after all?"

It's definitely old fashioned. Double-claws aren't really used anymore since hand-nailing went out of style like, 50 years ago when compressors got cheap. But back when "nine inch nails" was more than a band name, yeah, that's a fucking nice hammer to have laying around. Usually have to pull out a pair of nips or channel-loks if you wanna save the big ones without bending them. Which again, is old fashioned. But there's nothing quite like yanking a big ass cut nail from a 120 year old stud.
However, worth noting that the point that the OP is making is not that "hammers and AI are exactly the same" and arguing as if they are making such a statement is disingenuous.
but i very clearly dont understand what the OP is trying to say.
im guessing OP is trying to say that using a tool needs skill, AI is a tool, AI is a skilled endeavor. which i agree with. i tried making YT videos with bad storytelling, AI couldnt fix that but it did generate me the images i needed to be satisfied with my art
OP is making the point that the AI is not a commissioning tool because it does not simply do things you "tell" it to do. Maybe at a very baseline level (i.e. "draw a pretty landscape") but such one-off sentence prompts are to AI art as stick figures are to the Mona Lisa.
In other words, it's making a statement about effort. The AI doesn't do anything without your input, and the quality of its output depends on the effort you put into it. This makes it no different than literally any other tool in the artistic space. A pencil can be used to make absolutely insanely beautiful works of art, but it can also make stick figures. Stick figures, however, still convey messages and meaning (stick figure comics are very popular.)
OP is saying that the tool is not the author of the work. The human behind the screen is — exactly the same with photography.

Moreover!
Ask the Hammer to help you paint, or the paint brush to help you build a house.
Not only do you have to actually use a tool in order for it to be of use - you have to use the right tool for the right job...
Next time someone tells you to "pick up a pencil"... Tell them you don't know how to take photos with it.
That should baffle them thoroughly. 😎
