I’m a bit unsure.黄刚: I think we do. AI gives results, but drawing gives you the process—observation, patience, and judgment, all built up over time.陈花: What you’re saying sounds like how I teach English: memorizing words isn’t hard, but learning to express and think is.黄刚: Exactly. Images aren’t scarce anymore; what’s scarce is taste and the ability to choose. If you can’t judge, even with a hundred AI images, you won’t pick a good one.陈花: So learning to draw also helps with writing better prompts? Otherwise I always feel I ‘can’t explain what I want.’黄刚: That’s right. People who can draw understand light, composition, and style, and can spot sameness, instead of being led by algorithms.陈花: I actually like picking up a pen and sketching a bit. That quiet feeling can’t be replaced by AI generating an image in one second.黄刚: Traditional Chinese painting talks about ‘spirit and vitality.’ It’s not just about likeness, but inner feeling. AI can help, but humans give works their warmth.
