When artists complain about AI they are really complaining that the technology is somewhat inaccessible and no one is holding their hands telling them how to use it. There aren't 5,000 verified tutorials online and generally agreed upon workflows. There isn't decades of accumulated knowledge and practices telling them specifically what to do and what works and what doesn't. There aren't dozens of reputable art institutions teaching how to use AI in your pipeline by artists that have worked in the industry using AI.
The irony that these people complain that AI is "stealing" their work, when they showed up 10 years ago, 20 years after digital art became a thing and all the work had been done for them is hilarious to me. AI has put us back to the way things were in my industry 25 years ago and it is beautiful. You know who uses AI in art now? Boring nerdy white and asian guys who everyone picks on. The green haired bullies are finally getting some poetic justice.
