Hey friends, it’s Leaflit! In this video, I sit down with Yharic (@Yharic25) to debate a really hot topic: is art created with the help of generated imagery tools actually art? I take the pro–“machine-assisted” side, asking bold questions like: Is directing a film art? Is photography art? — because many traditional “art” forms rely on tools and collaboration. Yharic pushes back hard, arguing creativity comes only from human hands, not code.

I walk through:

Why I believe using these tools doesn’t cheapen creativity — it expands it.

The history of art evolving with technology (cameras and digital paint).

Where we find common ground, and where the tension is real.

This debate matters, especially for creators like me (a slime/fairy VTuber) who lean heavily on digital tools — so I want to challenge assumptions, ask tough questions, and ultimately push for respect for all kinds of creators. Let me know in the comments — do you think machine-assisted art is just a shortcut, or a legitimate medium in its own right?
