>AI generated artwork is inert

I wholly disagree with this. The rate at which AI can produce pornography that caters to exact tastes is completely unmatched, I have seen people report their compulsive pornography habits becoming exponentially worse as a result of Stable Diffusion in particular. The only hold out has been video pornography, but with things like txt2vid improving I can't see that lasting long (pun not intentional).

When I say inert I mean that the image is just a bunch of bits. It's read only. It doesn't cause actions in the world like code or self driving cars do. People can have reactions to them. That's why we make them.
