I’m an artist and an aphant, and art is the only way I can fully visualize things. I’m also pro AI art progression, but with regulation. We already reap the benefits of computer assisted art in myriad ways, and beyond that it’d be stupid to stand in the face of progress and demand it halt, but I agree and feel strongly about living artists being compensated for work that couldn’t have been generated without their years of work and efforts.

It’s really nice to see a nuanced take here.
