> Or to take another example where I've seen people excited about video-generation and thinking they will be using that for creating their own movies and video games. But if AI is advanced enough - why would someone go see a movie that you generated instead of generating a movie for himself
This seems like the real agenda/end game of where this kind of AI is meant to go. The people pushing it and making the most money from it disdain the artistic process and artistic expression because it is not, by default, everywhere, corporate friendly. An artist might get an idea that society is not fair to everyone - we can't have THAT!
The people pushing this / making the most money off of it feel that by making art and creation a commodity and owning the tools that permit such expression that they can exert force on making sure it stays within the bounds of what they (either personally or as a corporation) feel is acceptable to both the bottom line and their future business interests.
There are different agenda. Some want to make money or power upending the existing process. Making production cheaper.
There are people who want this want to make things currently unavailable to them. Taboo topics like casting your sister's best friend in your own x-rated movie.
There are groups who want to restrict this technology to match their worldview. All ai-movies must have a diverse cast or must be Christian friendly.
Not sure how this will play out.
I'm sure the oil paint crowd thought that photography was anti-artist cheating too.
This is just another tool, and it will be used by good artists to make good art, and bad artists to make bad art. The primary difference being that even the bad art will be better than before this tool existed.

The difference is that the camera company didn't have editorial control over what you could take pictures of, unlike with AI which gives all of that power to the creator of the model.
