It doesn't "lower skillset needed to create", that can be achieved by making lowcost/free but powerful tools to be widely available.
What it does is lowering the bar on making something that's pretending to be decent but in actuality don't have time and effort put in it. Which means that the only thing it is going to led to is massive amounts of slop
better tools will never lead to me being able to paint or draw without significant time and effort that i don’t have invested into practice
however i can express a fantasy world visually by describing it to AI - it’ll be kinda jank, but im still better able to communicate my imagination visually than i could otherwise without the help of someone who has skills to draw, paint, etc
Not with that attitude...
In all seriousness, yes, yes they are. Maybe you can't paint like the medival masters, but you able to open photoshop and make collages/edits to express your inner world a thousand times more interesting and charming. There are people who draw with a mouse. They are expressing themselves, using generic technology, that is for the most part, available everywhere. Do you really need more?
Or are you just want to speedrun and skip all this boring "effort", "dedication", and just generate away your "very valuable" ideas en-mass for cheap?
