It's difficult to find a cat willing to become a pirate, walk upright, and wear a belt. People with artistic ability don't like to work for free. AI is a necessary compromise. If you're an artist and don't like AI art, get busy. If you're not an artist and don't like AI, nobody cares what you don't like. Please continue to dislike..quietly.
Definitely not an easy position to hold for any length of time. Thank God there are good people willing to put on a badge, a uniform, and place themselves in harm's way day after day to keep society safe from those who would try to reduce society to fear and anarchy.
