QotD: With Ai becoming more prevalent in art, what line do YOU draw on how human art should be?

For me as a artist I draw the line at any and all AI, especially now at a time when the AI machines are being trained on any and all images scrounged from the web without compensation, acknowledgement or permission from the artist.

No training this AI machine IS NOT the same as a artist looking at your art and leaning from your style and being inspired. I did not give that AI tech company permission to use my art to train a AI machine that will then use it to generate art for other companies in order to not have to have graphic design artists on their payroll.

I will not support something that undermines artists in a society that is already cutting art from curriculum, after school programs, community centers etc etc. I will not support something that allows companies to use AI in the place if a human artist and they will because at the end of the day all that matters if profit for them and they will gladly replace every human artist with a AI generated crap.

Artists have always operated at the bottom of society unacknowledged as a viable career but readily used by the profit ruling class.

So no I do not see AI as I tool. I do not compare this situation to the same crisis the artist felt at the advent of photography. This and other 3d print things are a direct attack on a whole career and if this direct attack was brought against any other career (trades, lawyers, professional speech writers) it would be largely shut down or at the very least addressed legally.

And yes I know many other professions are under attack from AI and robots in other ways but I do not believe that any other career robbery by AI is so socially accepted and almost encouraged as the theft of a career in art is by AI.
