I’d like to share a perspective. I have paid top artists in character, environment, and concept art. I did most of this before AI was a thing. The one thing they all had in common was they shared that they would “borrow” or “benchmark” art and photos of other artists and from the internet. They specifically suggested to cobble together what you like and then basically make a derivative work. They suggested this to be able to speed up your work flow and to start off already having a sense of appeal, composition, etc.

That’s the same thing AI does. I think these same artists would absolutely be using AI in the same way they did before, instead of using an internet search for “reference”

They are on the NO AI side of the argument, and I think that’s interesting.

I completely agree. It's doing exactly what was done manually before but it's doing it in such a powerful way (as a tool) that it's negated a lot of the need for artists who might have made money from say fan art commissions. This has happened before when photography was invented but the speed of change is really the shock that's causing the problem here.
