I said basically free. It costs a fraction of a cent to generate an image, that would take a human a few hours at least.

What if I tell you that the effort that gets put nto the image is a vital part of art?

Well, that's your opinion. I'm more of a finished product kind of guy.

You just said it: you value more the "product" part of art. Not the "art" part.
