> There is no hard-and-fast rule that AI is bad.

That is true, but the context around it currently, the fast rush to appropriate freely from others and of course without contributing/crediting anything back, not to mention the sludge that has exploded all over the internet is one of agreement with the OP. I'm more than sure that AI could be used in very intelligent ways by artists themselves though, and I don't mean in a lazy way to cut corners and pump out content but a more deliberate way where the effort is visible (but I don't just mean visual arts).
