I'm honestly surprised at how accepting the older generation is of AI art. Most of the hate I get for using AI to make art comes mostly (but not all) from Gen Z, which is even more surprising to me since they're supposed to be the most technological? but many older people have even defended me in posts where I get hate, stating that they're old enough to recall when all art was hand drawn and the furor when other ways to produce them were initiated, and that they don't care how an image is created they just appreciate the talent to utilize what is available to do so. This is very refreshing, and I'm happy to know that older people are more accepting of it because they have seen hate when photography and digital art became forms of making art.

Edit: I didn't mean the post to sound negative toward older people! I apologize if it came off that way. I was just surprised because of the stereotype about the older generation usually being against technological change. From my experience with the older people I grew up around, they were very much "technology is going to be the death of us." So I apologize if my post seemed biased toward older people. I truly respect the older generation and enjoy hearing about their life stories and experiences.
