The claim that their art is being stolen is based on misconceptions about how AI works. I also think they are prematurely panicking about human art being devalued when AI is still not capable of seriously competing with human artists and probably wont be for at least a few years, if not longer.

Ultimately their complaints should be directed at our economic system, and not the technology itself.

They don't really care about how it really works though, I've seen many people get it explained to them but they still willfully ignore it. Those "misconceptions" are a very convenient way for them to get more press coverage, in an attempt to hinder its progress.

You're right, but progress won't stop so the only thing the detractors are doing is making themselves (and everybody else) miserable. If these people are so sure they're being stolen from then it's surprising how none of them have attempted to take AI companies to court. I think the first major trial related to this issue is going to be a big wakeup call for people who are confident their work has been stolen somehow.
