This all operates under the assumption that both AI-generated and AI-assisted art is not art and does not come from an artist nor will it help artists.

As a photographer, I disagree on all those fronts. As a photographer who likes to edit their photos with surrealist elements that can't be photographed - such as portals to another dimension, aliens, or anime characters - I'm doubly mad that the art I'm creating is suddenly not considered art because I'm using an AI to generate art instead of stealing the art because the digital mashup scene ,

photographers literally sued google into entirely removing the view image button and link to theft/infringement in that case was far more tentative than unstable diffusion promising to scrape portfolio sites and re-add artists who opted out of SD 3.0 in their funding pitch.

pedants can piss on us and tell us that 'the molecular structure of piss and rain is basically the exact same thing why are you mad lmao' but the effects of this unapologetic data scraping are already becoming clear. professional artists are simply removing their works from the public facing web. communities based around collaboration and shared knowledge are darkening at an alarming rate.
