Artist complaint from 1889.
Interestingly the press often framed photography as an aide to artists, rather than a threat.
People who think their criticism of AI art is insightful or useful should read what painters originally said about photography. No skill required, the tech does all the work, no creativity, blah blah blah etc.

The impact on human artists is real and present, while any future benefits to the greater culture are unknown.

There will always be work for people skilled in a craft, even if most people are fine with ai-gen’d junk.
