I don't spend any money on AI, they lose money any time I use it. So by using it to show how terrible their decisions are, I'm doubling up my negative effect on the bubble by costing them money and by displaying how bad their decisions are.

Agree with the sentiment, but using the very thing you're railing against to communicate it is certainly a choice...

It's definately a distraction. I don't see why artists can't make hybrid AI art. Using prompts then augmenting by hand or vice versa. Maybe some already are and they are afraid to admit it?

I know artists are struggling, but this infighting and accusations saying "REAL ARTISTS ONLY!" is going to be extremely damaging to just about everyone involved.

This is why it's so important for people to just be honest and transparent, we cannot demonize AI usage because otherwise we risk people hiding their usage and entering into a witch hunting nightmare scenario.

Fair enough.
