[Verse 1] AI can be free. Not sure why we keep having to bring this up.

[Chorus] we use AI because we enjoy it and it interests us [Verse 2] Even if we follow your logic and accept a $50 subscription price (it's like $20 for most), and accept that artists out there are lining up to deliver quality outputs at $10 an image, a subscription would be the cost of five good images, my workflow for game assets puts me about one good image every 15 minutes which includes all the post editing and formatting [Chorus] we use AI because we enjoy it and it interests us [Verse 3] Indie creators use AI. I need thousands of images for the project I'm working on. The overwhelming majority of the pro-ai people in this sub are hobbyists, we use AI because we enjoy it and it interests us [Outro]
