"AI can't make art"? Creator fires back with a 3-minute, $4 AI-generated drawing tutorial

Pushing back against "AI just regurgitates, art needs a creative process," @flowersslop shared a polished 9-step tutorial on drawing a cute character picking a flower, saying he made it in under 3 minutes for $4 with AI — and challenging any "real artist" to match that technical output at that speed and cost. His jab: "the process only matters when you can't compete." The tutorial image itself is complete and professional-looking, fueling the ongoing AI-art debate.
