But is it really a lack of access, or is it a lack of patience and effort? I hate to admit it, but maybe we are proving the boomers right.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Toby said: \u201cif you look at the advent of photography, one view would render drawing and painting entirely irrelevant \u2026That&#8217;s not what happened. Drawing and painting evolved into abstract forms of expression and continued to be incredibly valued by our societies and photography itself became a creative endeavour where people use it to express themselves in incredibly beautiful and original and expressive ways.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a common defence of Ai&nbsp; but the click of the camera still required the skill, input and artistic perception of the human mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I just can\u2019t help but think Art is one of the few things that have always been accessible if you put in the effort. Tutorials are free. Pencils are cheap. YouTube is overflowing with beginner guides. People can sculpt with rubbish, paint with egg yolks and flowers, Monet was colour blind, for crying out loud, but a corporate sleaze or jealous neck sitting at his computer, sipping at his monster will tell you you can\u2019t and that this sleazy shortcut is your only route.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to ITU 2.7 billion people in the world don\u2019t have internet access, is it more accessible for them?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>AI is a tool, many advocates say, like a paintbrush, except this paintbrush takes the work of a thousand real artists, many of whom never agreed to be scraped into a dataset and uses it to turn a profit without giving them any credit or compensation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s not a tool, it\u2019s a shortcut \u2014 one that cuts through ethics, originality, and the messy joy of figuring things out for yourself. And let\u2019s be honest: a lot of people praising AI \u201cart\u201d simply want a way to skip the part where they had to suck at something first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wanting the arts to be more accessible is absolutely a noble thing, but if your idea of \u201caccessible\u201d is \u201cI didn\u2019t have to try,\u201d then congratulations, not only are you an idiot, but you don\u2019t want art, you want content. True accessibility means actually working to provide resources, education, and opportunities for diverse voices to make things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66.66%\">\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.saraprinsloo.co.uk\/?srsltid=AfmBOoqY-IUz6yZyWhBlq8Im7v0NiVScT0tzKhHkuNy4lUvtz8-mSi7O\">Sara Prinsloo<\/a> is an artist based in Sheffield who has produced an eclectic collection of vibrant, humorous and punchy artwork.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She said: \u201cI don&#8217;t think it makes it more accessible\u2026It devalues it , it\u2019s more like oh, i can do that in a second, and then does it devalue our artwork because of that. Is it less respected? The craftsmanship that goes into making something.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The online AI community constantly belittles the value of the arts and creative industries, but the truth is people still innately admire the skill it takes to make something. AI just allows people to play dress-up as creatives while ignoring the time, skill and labour behind real work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAgain this is all my personal opinion. I do think some of the negative reaction is a perception that it&#8217;s cheating. People feel that it&#8217;s cheating.&nbsp; I think it&#8217;s you&#8217;re achieving a result that usually would take&nbsp; years of training and skill and effort so I do understand that reaction to AI art as the feeling of like you found a shortcut but that&#8217;s a sort of short-term view and that&#8217;s sort of akin to saying isn&#8217;t it a bit like using a calculators cheating because I&#8217;m really good at long division. \u201d Bond said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But Prinsloo believes the time and effort is where the value lies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt takes time, materials, cost money and it&#8217;s not just producing it\u2019s the ideas and the thought process\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"879\" height=\"1024\" data-src=\"https:\/\/jusmedia.co.uk\/riotandreason\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/42\/2025\/05\/Sara-Prinsloo-879x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-420 lazyload\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 879px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 879\/1024;width:402px;height:auto\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Sara Prinsloo, a working artist in Sheffield.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although Bond believes tf AI can be a positive tool for artists, the value still comes from human input.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He said. \u201cWhat people value is the expression of a human personality in content and I think just typing the word cat into an image generator and generating a picture of a cat like that doesn&#8217;t have much value at all really to people\u2026Whereas someone who spent lots of time tuning a model to create a particular style, they were just using the AI as a tool to express their personality. That has value because it&#8217;s got some human creation in it.And it&#8217;s just mediated through a new technology.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In today\u2019s consumer-driven world, we\u2019re often focused solely on the final product, rarely pausing to consider the process behind it\u2014unless it&#8217;s explicitly pointed out to us, and even then, it&#8217;s easy to dismiss it as preachy or pretentious (which, admittedly, it sometimes is). But art, like fashion or food, is just the visible endpoint of a much longer journey. Most of us don\u2019t think about where our clothes come from, who grows our coffee or harvests our cocoa and now, with AI entering the creative space, we\u2019re being asked to question another process\u2014but will we?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"381\" height=\"114\" data-src=\"https:\/\/jusmedia.co.uk\/riotandreason\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/42\/2025\/05\/Screenshot-2025-05-28-094417-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-942 lazyload\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 381px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 381\/114;width:180px;height:auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/jusmedia.co.uk\/riotandreason\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/42\/2025\/05\/Screenshot-2025-05-28-094417-1.png 381w, https:\/\/jusmedia.co.uk\/riotandreason\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/42\/2025\/05\/Screenshot-2025-05-28-094417-1-300x90.png 300w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 381px) 100vw, 381px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"656\" height=\"154\" data-src=\"https:\/\/jusmedia.co.uk\/riotandreason\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/42\/2025\/05\/Screenshot-2025-05-28-110846.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-944 lazyload\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 656px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 656\/154;width:302px;height:auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/jusmedia.co.uk\/riotandreason\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/42\/2025\/05\/Screenshot-2025-05-28-110846.png 656w, https:\/\/jusmedia.co.uk\/riotandreason\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/42\/2025\/05\/Screenshot-2025-05-28-110846-480x113.png 480w\" data-sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) 656px, 100vw\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"130\" data-src=\"https:\/\/jusmedia.co.uk\/riotandreason\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/42\/2025\/05\/Screenshot-2025-05-28-110440-1024x130.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-943 lazyload\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1024px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1024\/130;width:362px;height:auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/jusmedia.co.uk\/riotandreason\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/42\/2025\/05\/Screenshot-2025-05-28-110440-1024x130.png 1024w, https:\/\/jusmedia.co.uk\/riotandreason\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/42\/2025\/05\/Screenshot-2025-05-28-110440-980x124.png 980w, https:\/\/jusmedia.co.uk\/riotandreason\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/42\/2025\/05\/Screenshot-2025-05-28-110440-480x61.png 480w\" data-sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1024px, 100vw\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1020\" height=\"544\" data-src=\"https:\/\/jusmedia.co.uk\/riotandreason\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/42\/2025\/05\/Screenshot-2025-05-27-162741.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-850 lazyload\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1020px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1020\/544;width:446px;height:auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/jusmedia.co.uk\/riotandreason\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/42\/2025\/05\/Screenshot-2025-05-27-162741.png 1020w, https:\/\/jusmedia.co.uk\/riotandreason\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/42\/2025\/05\/Screenshot-2025-05-27-162741-980x523.png 980w, https:\/\/jusmedia.co.uk\/riotandreason\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/42\/2025\/05\/Screenshot-2025-05-27-162741-480x256.png 480w\" data-sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1020px, 100vw\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" \/><\/figure>\n<span class=\"et_bloom_bottom_trigger\"><\/span>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For centuries, art has been a process, often slow, difficult, and deeply human.
