@Jojo it is not only a matter of 'not being okay'. It is just a matter of time that companies won't need us human artists to produce their stuff.
With that i include whichever form of art.
It is not a moral matter of "stealing other's art is not okay", this issue regards money, profits and other political stuff unfortunately

I wouldn't think of AI as an abyss but as something rather predictable.
Like, if we look back through human's history we'll see that many other technologies that were meant to ease our work actually fucked us up.
I don't think AI is bad. But there's plp that only see usefulness in it through a profit logic yk?
Maybe the problem of using AI is not merely moral, it is a matter regarding our work as an artist, as our labour if you will.

Yeah, AI in its current state seems very... disingenuous. When you're making AI "art", you're moreso the commissioner than the artist in your use of prompts, and you're basically paying a machine to steal from other artists. And it goes without saying that stealing people's hard work is never okay.
