Now, creative people with ambition and limited resources have a new, powerful tool.

This will also be used to create great content.

We mustn't teach peasants how to read or write or else one day we'll live in hellscape of infinte unread inboxes and eternal september... both of which sucks, but much less than a world where masses were illiterate. Ai art/slop is just that for visual communication. Now it's supremely shitty this power is currently being monetized / controlled by a few, the same way communication material like papyrus and paper was jealously guarded/exploited before printing press proliferated, then the mistake that was the internet giving desemination power to every pleb. But there's free models out there and maybe (hopefully) in the not too distant from now the barrier to entry is accessible commodity level hardware and artists just have to eat shit and realize they've contributing to the creative common/canon like those before, i.e. world where monks/literati simply copied and duplicated work in pre copyright era because knowledge/expression, unless jealously guarded, was a collective resource to be built upon.

Precisely.

I have a really big problem with letting low quality stuff infest into the species.
