Since Gen art became a thing i've been using it episodically to create images of a civilization of space-faring boars, representing the future of my glorious South-Western France civilization. They raise ducks and grow wine in space, and the lore is getting a lot deeper than i first thought. It's so fucking fun man.

Okay now I'm hooked. What's the Story of the Boar-men
It bothers me more than it should that his snout is sticking out through his helmet glass
Wee! Haha! Fun!!

This happens a lot in music. It's okay to listen to music that serves other purposes than art. Gatekeeping is ridiculous.
I'm a musician. I play more instruments than you can even name correctly. I can make a tritonus substitution without you even noticing. I don't give a shit if German Schlager Music is worse than country. If I want to watch Eurovision and enjoy myself and pay to vote for songs in foreign languages, I will do so.
You cannot stop me from enjoying stupid music.
We talk about freedom the same way we talk about art,” she said, to whoever was listening. “Like it is a statement of quality rather than a description. Art doesn’t mean good or bad. Art only means art. It can be terrible and still be art. Freedom can be good or bad too. There can be terrible freedom.

The issue has never been the tech itself. Image generators are basically just a more complicated Gaussian Blur tool.
The issue is, and always has been, the ethics involved in the creation of the tools. The companies steal the work they use to train these models without paying the artists for their efforts (wage theft). They've outright said that they couldn't afford to make these tools if they had to pay copyright fees for the images that they scrape from the internet. They replace jobs with AI tools that aren't fit for the task because it's cheaper to fire people. They train these models on the works of those employees. When you pay for a subscription to these things, you're paying a corporation to do all the things we hate about late stage capitalism.
I think that, in many ways AI is just worsening the problems of excessive copyright terms. Copyright should last 20 years, maybe 40 if it can be proven that it is actively in use.
Oooo an AI straw man
I agree.
I have all these images in my head and zero artistic skills to create them.
Thanks AI, if indeed that is your real name, for helping me with Visual aids for my teaching work!
