Spot on. There's something instinctual about this. My kids (13,10,8) all love making art. When I show them AI tools that they could use to generate art or riff on existing art, they are actively opposed. They tell me that AI art is not real art, that AI tools for doing this sort of thing are gross, and they want nothing to do with it.

As a technologist I think "omg this is so cool" and it has been genuinely surprising to see how they actively rebuff it.

Be glad your kids have such healthy instincts. I keep being amazed how kids see through the BS that adults fall for.

They are probably also afraid of the dark and think they'll see their dead pet in heaven.

[whimsicalism]

its because they are exposed to the internet and left-leaning culture from their schools, i highly doubt that is their first exposure reaction.

I think the most important word in the OP is

> My kids all love _making_ art

There's a real human sense of accomplishment and ownership when you put your own effort into making your own creations real. Typing words into a box to make a picture is a fun novelty, and might be useful to people who have to shovel images out the door, but I've never felt anything like the same satisfaction, and I'd imagine kids feel that innately.

Have you been on the internet lately? The manosphere is everywhere; right-wing discourse is the norm.

Left-leaning culture in schools? Such as what left-leaning cultures? That you think there is bias in education kind of shows your own biases/POV
