The REAL Fight Over AI Art

The biggest issue is that AI is not a tool for artists, and will not be tool for artists or anybody to be honest. It is a REPLACEMENT of the human factor in the making. If you can use it now, it is only to feed the learning process of these AIs that later on will be used to generate images for you without you even being part of the process at all. And the argument that this will bring democratization of art is false. What it will mean in reality is to make irrelevant any story, idea etc your voice basically when generated using a AI because it will be devalued by the sheer overflow of AI art. AI as it is conceived right now is disgusting, because it feeds on artist´s work without their consent, with the plan to use all that copyrighted source material  to build a very profitable business models in the near future.
