I have zero empathy for “artists”. Art produced for commercial purposes is no art at all, a more apt title for such a job is “asset creator”, and these people are by no means banned from using AI generation tools to make their work easier. Already artists will generate some logo off a prompt that takes a few minutes and charge full price for it. Why cry about it?
I would argue because most AI imagery right now is made for fun and not monetary gains, so it is actually a purer form of art.
