I don't think people condemn all AI, when they talk about AI. Like the ones used for science to analyze large amount of data, that's sure something useful.
Or things which can upscale a picture or choosing an object when clicking on it, that's also not something people see as bad.
But AI generating pictures, 3D models, text etc. that's something people worry about.
Some already feel their impact and worry it might get worse.
@kanrei @AuthorJMac @Uddelhexe It's definitely a threat, I'm just not sure how much it'll be. For, even if AI does manage to solve the problem of the seven-fingered foot, there's still the question of plagiarism and, if there's a positive aspect to lawyers earning more than artists, that'll be it.
Still, I've seen typists, typesetters and music copyists go extinct in my lifetime, thanks to technology, so it's possible that AI will do for illustrators what, say, photography did for painters.
