I feel like the aversion to AI art could be looked at in a similar way to how people felt 40 years ago about the internet and digital art. Before that if you wanted to create and distribute art, you needed to really devote yourself not only to the creative effort, but also to acquiring all the resources for materials, then you had to network with art dealers or magazines to get it distributed. You had to make it your entire career and only a tiny privileged group had the resources to do that. All of these things are lowering the barrier to entry, and democratizing creativity. As long as we recognize them for what they are, it shouldn't be this big evil thing that everyone despises. There are still things that AI can't create. I had to make my own illustration because no prompt would create what I was imagining. And it was worth the time to me to make it because I knew there wasn't an easier way. Artists today can still create things that are better than the AI can generate, but if what they are making is indistinguishable from what could be made by typing a few words, then they should do that and save the time to create things that are more unique than what a computer can do.
