i get sick of people complaining about ai art, but i also agree with the sentiment that ai art is abhorrent.
i consider it not as harmful as everyone makes it out to be, but still a parasite on the industry nonetheless, the same way i look at dan schneider or harvey weinstein. to be specific, i have not found evidence of ai replacing real jobs in the animation industry, but i would like to know if it has actually been occurring, as i mentioned, i do not have confirmation.
in other words, both sides irritate me, including the one i ultimately agree with.
