Oh the Ai art generator has no "soul" and it's soy and reddit? This precious art form (illustrating things that other people pay you to, a medium dominated almost entirely by furries, porn, and furry porn) is being destroyed by the evil AI? I'm sorry that the democratization of art creation is so upsetting to you. I've brought dozens of ideas to life by typing words into a prompt and I didn't have to pay someone $300 to do so.

    When you use a printing press to make duplicates of someone else’s work, you don’t erase their name and replace it with yours.

    Except you're able to reproduce written works at a much faster rate with a printing press than laboriously writing it on manuscript. Plus, it's extremely trivial to maliciously misattribute the work (you literally just replace the real author's name with someone else). The only way for the real author to fight back is to either partner up with someone who also has a printing press in order to match the production speed of the misattributed work or get the state to shut down the fraud's printing press. Trying to outproduce the printing press by writing it faster or going "uh actually, I wrote that" to everyone you know is an exercise in futility.
