From an artists view, it basically makes them obsolete. Sucks. Also, legally trained AI has a lot less training data, therefore worse output and so illegal models will always be preferred.
From a tech view, AI does not create anything new. It remixes. If we remove artists, which will happen as AIs are simply cheaper, we won't have anything new. From there on, you can imagine it like that: An artist creates images that are 99-100% of what the goal was, dictated by clients or digitally identified by tags, due to logic, reason, creativity and communication. And they only get better. With AIs, they have like 90% accuracy, due to technical limitations. And once a generated image, which only has 90% accuracy, is used as training data for new images, it only gets worse.
For example, if there are enough images with 6 fingers, created by AI, in training data, that will become the norm.
Basically, authors, artists etc. will be obsolete for a few years, until the AI bubble mostly collapses and quality is so bad that companies and individuals hire professionals again. Then AIs will be used for low-requirement things only again, eg. private memes or roleplay.
So artists are probably angry because they are replaced by much inferior things, that leeched off of themselves and will be gone in a few years anyway. AI just does not make sense, in most cases.
Artists are not becoming obsolete, that is just wrong.
I haven't seen an AI make an convincing oil painting yet :-)
I think what most people think of as "artists" is actually the job they sometimes do, like layout and graphic design etc. That isn't going obsolete either, it's just new tools to help, and maybe the demand will be lowerbecause of it.
Maybe not for you, but search for oil painting prints on amazon and you'll find tons of AI generated stuff. The average Joe already can't tell the difference.
An oil painting print is lika a video of fireworks.
What if I use tens of thousands of light-up drones flying in the sky to create a virtual display, and then I use that display to create a 3D image of a fireworks show?
Believe it or not, straight to jail!
