No to AI appropriating Art Culture

Nobody is born an artist, it takes 100s-1000s of hours of practice. Every piece of art is unique because we all have different influences, whether it be other artist we look up to and respect, our home city and country, experiences we've lived or have seen other's live. Every piece of art is a reflection of the artist and how they view the world, what beauty means to them, as well as disgust and anger and sorrow.

Seeing AI generated (I cant call it art because its not, there's no soul), it makes me scared as an artist and its offensive and disheartening. Its already so hard to make a living through art because there are so many talented artists in the world, we don't need machines taking our jobs because realistically they already can take all of our jobs. They don't need to be paid, they don't need healthcare or job security, and CEO's only care about saving money, its what's killing our world already. Where's the beauty in that?
