so here's the thing, artists like making the art, skipping the making leaves you with nothing
most artists I know are against AI because they feel it is anti-human, devaluing and alienating both the viewer and the creator
some can tolerate it as a tool, and some (as is long art tradition) will use it to offend or be contrarian, but these are not the common position
if I were a spherical cow in a vacuum with infinite time, and nobody around me had economic incentives to make things with it, I could, maybe, in the spirit of openness, tolerate knowing some people somewhere want to use it... but I still wouldn't want to see its output
