I found this article way too biased. For example:
Nobody intentionally buys "AI assets" from online marketplaces. Nobody asks "AI artists" for commissions or collaboration. The people who follow "AI art" accounts are... "AI" boosters, for the most part. Some people who are caught up in the spectacle. "AI" works on steam instantly receive backlash, and are seeing an increasing amount of backlash over time.
This person is living in a bubble. There is a sizable part of the population that simple doesn't care about the anti-AI sentiment and just loves AI content.
The dynamic between "AI" boosters and people who don't want to use LLMs is not on level ground. "AI" boosting in a space with people who want to be "AI Sober" is disruptive and antagonistic, knowing that you're doing it is baiting or outright trolling.
From what I've seen, both sides are just as toxic to the other. It's just a divisive topic. Acting like anti-AI people are "victims" is biased framing.
