As an artist I think it's a more complicated issue than a lot of people are making it out to be, and all the fearmongering some popular artists are promoting really doesn't help.

Agree.
Also. People are pissed that what they have taken years to master others can now get close to replicate with little effort and time.
I've just realized that although they call the AIs "content thieves", what they really feel is that as AIs are able to replicate their skills quickly, it makes them feel their own merit diminished.
If an artist creates artwork inspired on some other artist eveyone's cool; if an AI does the same, then it's stolen work even if the generated image is a unique new one.
Using AI is feeding bullshit into a bullshit generator that's handing back a synthesis of stolen art.
It's a bullshit tool for hacks and grifters to pretend they're "artists" so they can exploit another avenue for the grind.
This is not a debate. I don't give a shit what your excuses are. Shout at a wall for all I care.
You sound like you've already closed your mind to the discussion, but in case you're actually still willing to healthily engage in the discussion here is a really good video about why calling people who utilize AI in their work "hacks and grifters" is a very narrow minded (and often factually incorrect) way of looking at AI utilization.
