There seems to be a lot of hate and pushback for AI art on this site and elsewhere.If I were an artist, would I hate AI art too? It's likely, if my livelihood depended on it. If not, it's likely that I wouldn't care, at least in the current state of AI art. But maybe all furry artists at least secretly wish to become rich and/or famous with their work, and thus see AI art as an inherent risk for achieving their dream. The 'using my work without permission' thing I don't entirely understand in anything but this context. Still, they posted their work in the open Internet and benefitted greatly of that. Now, it's sort of payback time. I don't believe in endless and absolute copyright laws, that the creative people seem to push so strongly.
Progress has to progress, and I think AI art is one step towards the holodeck of Star Trek, and I'm not giving that up, even if I'm long dead before anything like that is a reality. Or just any technological advancement in the future, that I cannot even imagine now, but which required 'AI art tech' (or rather advanced applied statistics) to become a reality. Science and progress just works like that. People stand on the shoulders of their predecessors.
This AI art pushback is a shame, as real artists (unlike people like me) would actually be the best people to utilize AI art, thanks to their existing skills. Their output and creativity could reach new levels. Or at least output :-) I would commission them, as I have commissioned 'traditional' artists before (under different pseudonum, I cannot risk taking their potential hate). Maybe it takes furry artists a generation or two, but AI art (as AI in other fields of life) is here to stay.
I have to commend Inkbunny administration of being open and accepting in the face of this new technology, even if it may cost them a lot, due to artist pushback and general 'copyright mafia', that may strike back hard at some point.
