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.

I hate the pyramid scheme feeding money into billionaire pedo cults of AI and have tried to use local models without getting them working properly yet.
But a job steals my time. In there I must use AI tools to get what I need or I won't have a home or food.
Outside of it, I know the creative skills but simply don't have the resources after they're depleted by the system. So I build with agents. It's not perfect but my projects shouldn't be, they just need to progress. Human time is left for QA, and whatever leftover creative energy remains, I can spend offline.
All in all it's a bummer and also circumstances
