And I will add that AI is destroying Artist's way of life and careers.  People making things in 15 mins is NOT ART. It is ART THEFT no matter how you look at it.  If you are mainly using AI to create your stuff, that is stealing from other people and if you do not have consent to use their artwork, that is THEFT PERIOD.  I'm glad there are many that are taking a stand on this and trying to make AI not allowed in the Entertainment Industries cause it is literally THEFT.

IMO, you are completely correct with this. That's why every posted AI image isn't protected by owner's rights.
If anyone's AI image would be useful to me, I'd steal it and won't give a sh*t.
Generative AI is nothing more than a tech show saying pretty much:
"Look, what can be done, now"
Nothing more and nothing less.
AI users are no artists!
