An artist defends their use of AI in creating art, emphasizing the importance of craftsmanship and collaboration in the process.
The artist explains that while AI-assisted tools were used, the final artwork underwent extensive curation, revision, and direction by trained artists.
The project aimed to enhance talent, accelerate production, and empower vision, but control was never handed over to algorithms, mediocrity was not accepted, and hard work was not skipped.
The artist highlights that the project's success was not about trends but about perseverance, research, testing, development, and building a lasting foundation.
