Oh no, 341 foreign tourists! This is serious.

(The snark isn't aimed at you, OP, just at the general way that news articles like this are written)

    When you say "we all know", who are you talking about? Everybody that you know? That's a social bubble, a self-selected subset of "everybody."

    "Horrible" is in the eye of the beholder, and people have differing opinions on stuff. You probably like and subscribe to someone that lots of other people would consider "horrible" in turn.

    Or they're doing it because they wanted a particular piece of artwork.

    I've generated a ton of stuff over the years and never once thought about selling any of it, because I generated it to use it. Or just because I thought it would be funny.

    I think there's a lot of projection here. A lot of people who use AI art tools couldn't care less about whether they're called "artists", it just doesn't matter. It's irrelevant. The goal is to have the art, not to gain some particular arbitrary title.

    Ooh, we're getting close to my dream scenario now! Just one bit left, though. Which model do I install to make my voice sound like Captain Picard's?

    I mean, I guess you could go physically confiscate their computer. But otherwise, how? Once you've downloaded and installed the model, the runtime and the harness, you've got a complete system you can run locally with no need for it to ever connect to the Internet again.

    I download everything, I just may not ultimately keep it long-term if it turns out to be uninteresting or bad. Streaming and downloading transfer the same amount of bits, one just has higher demands for timeliness.
