From what I’ve been reading they have a lower incarceration rate than most countries and their penal system is focused on rehabilitation rather than punishment. Who knows how true that is without personally visiting one, but the US prison system is known for being awful and focused on punishment, with some of the highest (I think currently the highest) incarceration rates.

I don’t think most prisons around the world are “good”, likely far from the rehabilitative facilities most leftists would like, but the US penal system is likely worse than Japan, at least in regards to the prisons.

Except Japan is at least better than the US when it comes to things like health care, public infrastructure, prison conditions, etc.

We’re getting all the worst parts of other countries without the few benefits, not like that “benefit” is unique to stressful work cultures anyway.

It’s not your own art, that’s the whole point. Learn to draw or paint or even use graphic design software like every other artist.

“I want to be artistic without putting in any actual effort.”

If you can only “create” AI art, you’re not an artist. I don’t even care of you use it, just don’t act like you’re anywhere near the same as someone who spent time actually learning and honing a skill, or that it’s your own work. It’s the AI’s “work” that was typically stolen from actual artists online.
