It really just highlights the massive gap between artist's impressions and the 'techbros' talking about how it's just another tool. It's clear that many techbros really just don't understand art. A few weeks ago there was a post here about how the majority of art involved in a game is never seen by the public, where someone had asked what could be done to make this process more efficient so less 'waste' art needed to be produced. I think this thinking that this approach to AI generated 'art' has a similar disconnect between artist and techie.

Techbros see the tool and talk on and on about how it'll optimize workflows and how it's just another tool, cloning artstyles and patting each other on the back for automating another task, while completely ignoring the concern from artists about having basic ethical concerns trampled over in the name of disruption and progress.
