I think they're pointing out some hypocrisy.
For example, at what percentage of it being AI generated does it no longer be considered art? Backgrounds only? 30%? 5?
What about something created that could only be realistically done with AI, like stylized QR codes?
Having an issue with these things but not 3D rendered art, Photoshop, etc is the issue. I guess it's a bit pointless on this community, but having such a black and white view on the tech is really dumb.
And for the record, I am opposed to some AI - primarily commercial AI trained on data that wasn't paid - I'm just not opposed to open source things that are run locally, especially if for non-commercial purposes.
You can create a stylized QR code without AI. You could create a QR code by hand if you wanted to.
The AI goes much further then what you are thinking of as stylized. The amount of skill needed is I imagine very very high to make something like the picture below while keeping it scannable.
Just because something takes a lot of effort doesn't mean people can't do it. A person could make that, or even something more complex, or less. That doesn't justify using AI to do it.
the time involved does, human labor has value its why wages exist.
