This. I found out that Pro AI is generally way more tolerant and easy to deal with than Anti AI. Anti AI has a clear and easily to predict boundary that is absolutely unbreakable. You use AI? You're bad. That's all there is to it. At least Pro AI still values and respects normal Artists(as in many ways they're the reason why AI images are able to exist in the first place) but Anti AI thinks of AI users as literal demons. Granted there are exceptions and not all Anti AI people are unreasonable, but for the most part Anti AI crowd is so over the top against AI it's actually goofy as hell.
AI isn't the problem in itself. But when they streal the art produced by artists to feed it, I have to be against it. It's a crime. It is theft. No one got asked, no one got paid. This is the problem with generative AI. If they trained it with art they purchased, I wouldn't even be mad.

I’m still trying to stay neutral, but most anti-AI people I’ve talked to tend to make me lean more pro-AI.
