It’s so bizarre when people say stuff like this. There is absolutely nothing preventing the unpracticed or untalented people from any form of creative expression. What instead people who use AI seem to want is for unpracticed or untalented people to perform at the level of the practiced and talented, but this is no net gain to anyone. Why? Because only a rare subset of people who ARE practiced and talented create anything of interest or value in the first place. What this tells you is that skill or level of performance is not the barrier, but a means through which great things CAN be achieved (i.e. necessary, but not sufficient)

Flooding the world with unpolished, unpracticed works, AI-tuned to the level of being mediocre, is a creative and intellectual dead end.
