Is Photoshop against the basic ethic of most artists? Are only cave paintings real art?



Artists are increasingly souring on Photoshop and looking for alternatives in response to the increasing presence of generative AI in it, so in some capacity, yes it is.


As usual, the answer is complex and depends on degree, and the element of honesty in the artistic work. There were dishonest works before AI, but it makes it much easier.


I think dishonest is a weird way to put it. If you paint something with a reference image or are inspired by something you saw, is that dishonest?

Image generating AI is a tool and like every tool you can be really creative with or just make crap. It's not inherently immoral or dishonest.
