    The people who commission artists have no interest in being an artist; they simply want the product. Are people who commission artists also “slowly committing suicide?”

      People who commission art don’t call themselves the artist. That’s the big difference. If people found out you commissioned the painting that you later told everyone at the party that you painted yourself, and that it is practically your work of art, because you gave the precise description of what you wanted to the painter, and thus you’re an artist. Then you would be the laughing stock and the butt of many jokes and japes for decades. Because that’s ridiculous.

      I misread you at first so here’s an answer to if someone uses AI art:

      Within the jokingly limited sphere of the discussion… “yes”? Particularly their artistic ability in that situation is being put to death slowly as whatever little they might have attempted without access to the tool will now not be attempted at all.

      I don’t know as much about if someone were to commission art from an actual person.
