The issue for them is that once the tools exists, adoption only moves in one direction. And it will enable a whole wave of new artists. I sympathize with them, but if I enjoy GenAI art creation and see it as my genuine creative outlet, why would I stop? What about thousands of others exploring this?

If at some point I also get very good at it; and the tech, models and tools mature, this will turn into a real avenue; who are they to tell us not to pursue it?
