AI art won’t do shit except boot people out of jobs that would require a real artist but won’t have too many people complaining if it is obvious goo.

As for open-source art tools, krita is fantastic and gets used by a lot of professionals.

windows is the most user friendly

This is entirely dependend on what you’re used to I think, because I used to think this too but now I can’t do anything with windows anymore.

While this is not that hard to do if you’re used to linux, I would not reccommend this to someone who is switching from windows.
