Anti-AI solidarity

I am a little shocked at the lack of solidarity I see between artists working in different mediums wrt genAI.
Musicians who would never use it to make music use it to make cover art
Graphic artists reach for it to make music over their videos
Writers use it to illustrate their articles
And, considering software development an art, many use it to create web sites or apps to host their art.
None of this is necessary. All of this is harmful to the other artists.
Collaborate ffs.
Stop it.

You can literally take a photo on your phone and add some text in gimp. No one buys music for the cover art (I do acknowledge that good cover art adds something, but it's not usually make or break).
