Businesses that rely on creatives should probably avoid angering them.

This just show how ready and willing are many companies to replace human creativity with cheap AI. If anyone really thought that this wasn't the direction they were pointing to, he was just deluding himself. New creativity tools "my ass".

You're jumping to conclusions. The image was a mislabeled stock image they bought. This is just a case of poor quality control.

People will buy the cheapest product that meets their needs. A business not using AI as much as possible is in a disadvantage.

Maybe for companies that aren't selling tools for digital artists, but WACOM is literally trying to sell a product that humans use to create these images. To usurp the their customer base and buy an AI image (even unintentionally) shows at best a complete lack of understanding about what kind of art is being made with their tablets and at worst a disregard for a major concern of their customer base.

The same arguments were made in the 80s when products like Adobe appeared in the design market. Capitalism is about survival of the fittest whether we like it or not, and AI is a tremendous advantage.
