Sharing your art be like.
I'm quite happy with my pixel art rendition of Foxfire this time around. He looks so excited!

A lineless pixel art rendition of Foxfire, an anthro fox with reddish-brown fur, a cream muzzle, chest tuff, and tail tip, and dark gray hand and foot paws. He is standing, has a big open mouth smile, and is gesturing his right (your left) hand-paw at a golden picture frame. Within the frame is a textured white canvas, which has a rendition of a rubber duck on the surface of water, with a purple twilight sky above. This scene is shown within a large paint spatter, which sprawls from the center of the canvas and outward vertically.
Foxfire is standing in an otherwise empty, dark, de-saturated purple room, with a gray-purple floor. The top of the image has a textbox in this same floor color which says: BEHOLD...A DUCK!
What does that phrase even mean? Asking something else to make something for you is not artistic, so it can't be that. People who commission other humans to make things aren't suddenly artists. If they literally just mean consumption of images, it's not as if web searching for images has been difficult for the last couple decades at this point. If you don't care about art at all and just want content, there are lifetimes of things you could look for readily available to indulge. Just start typing and away you go! Literally the only thing that has changed is that now you are accelerating dead internet theory and removing human interaction from what you consume. Of course, if you don't care about art that is a moot point, since human self-expression and communication never meant anything to you in the first place.
At best, the phrase should be specialized, on demand consumption of niche content is more accessible, not art.
