AI does not learn like us. To learn AI needs to be trained on a large dataset. In the case of generative AI images that dataset is real people's art, usually without consent.
Artists are fighting AI taking their jobs. If we accept this, it will not be long until AI replaces all jobs.
Maya, okay, now I understand the artists' POV. I am not an artist but it does make me wonder... don't many artists hone their skills by studying others' work? It is a real disadvantage to people that AI certainly learns faster. As a teacher, I feel you pain when folks say we're replaceable, too.
In addition, as others have pointed out, AI is incredibly resource intensive. Requiring enormous amounts of electricity and water and produce huge sums of heat.
So is using a computer all day? Most AI models can be trained on a computer within just 2 hours depending on the dataset. How long do graphics designers spend making animated hd animations? Probably alot more electricity spent then... Ai training is just more efficient 💯

Very bad for the environment.
Moreover, I was explaining people's reactions to someone who asked, not you.
