So? Disabled people aren't magically excused from abhorrent behavior simply because they're disabled. Is it easier for some disabled people to create art with AI than without it? Sure. But that's true irrespective of disability.

It's only inappropriate to judge someone for something that directly relates to their disability. You're just using disability as an excuse to churn out slop.

I cannot think of a single disability that would prevent someone from creating art without AI, without also disabling them so completely that they would be able to create art with AI. A quadriplegic person can create art if they want. And it will have infinitely more soul than some slop by someone hiding behind a disability.

Assuming they are disabled, which a passerby like myself cannot be expected to know, that does not excuse the deliberate choice to use ethically unsound technology. It's especially true in this case, as even if a disability limits your potential as a visual artist, you'll gladly commission somebody if you have any respect for the craft. I know this because I too have such a disability, and it hurts. It hurts knowing I might forever depend on the hands of others to bring some of my ideas to life, but you know what? That only strengthens my appreciation of visual artists and their work. I'd rather commission a talented artist to mix my silly brainwaves with their personal flourishes and create something meaningful, ten times over, then throw some words at an industrialized theft machine to get soulless slop.

got any links to that event?
