MODERATORS
There are multiple artists who still make art, despite being quadriplegics. They learn to paint and sculpt with their faces.
Marcus Thomas, paralyzed from the neck down after a skiing accident:
Mariam Paré, paralyzed from the neck down after being shot:
Ron Heagy, paralyzed from the neck down after surfing accident:
One of the wealthiest and most well-known artists of the last 50 years, Chuck Close, paralyzed from spinal arterial collapse. He eventually regained limited mobility of his left hand, which he used to paint:
So fuck these AI grifters trying to hide behind disabled people. We don't need them when they're the ones stealing from us lmao
Is your second maybe the Chuck Close? The subject looks like Chuck Close's favorite subject, Chuck Close.

yeah, which is why I don't think it's a good argument. but actually creating art as a quadriplegic takes a shitton of time, patience, and skill. much easier to simply talk into the computer and have it spit it out
