Artist defends human-art pricing: most people can't tell AI slop from world-class illustration
Linahuaa · x · 2026-10-30
An artist argues that backlash against reasonably priced human artists stems from three things: lack of taste (most people can't distinguish world-class illustration from AI slop — citing Elon's AI waifu Ani and Zuck's Metaverse avatars as examples of poor aesthetics), a general lack of appreciation for beauty, and jealousy toward passionate work priced similar to their own boring jobs. The context: a human artist opened commissions at $4,500 per full illustration and $800 per portrait, emphasizing "100% human drawn, not AI."
