you can draw if you’re blind. you can draw if you’re paralyzed. you can draw if you don’t know how to read or write. art is an equalizer and everyone, EVERYONE has the ability to produce it. the only people who use the stance that being anti-AI is ableist are people who think it’s okay to steal the hard work of others. these are people who want the prestige of being an artist without any of the effort. it’s hollow and disrespectful to people who are actually disabled.
I’m disabled in multiple ways. Despite being visually impaired and having brain damage in several areas and hand tremors, I still draw. Not well, but I can do it without ai. It’s ableist to say that disabled people can’t make art without soul-sucking ai models that steal from original artists.
