Why AI art is so controversial

i think it give me a tiny bit of inspiration kinda cool to help visualise something that you cant get from searching images. plus it looke like alien art and its kinda cool. But i do believe people should not be able to make profit from something they didn't physically put work into. i think it can help those who just want a temporary image as a screen saver if they cant make a piece their own and don't want to pay an artist to do so. but i guess then we did lose a bit of our job. but ai aint that creative lmfao.
