Content creators or artists, will have to find a way to deal with AI (as a broad term). Both in how they will or won't use it, but also in how it affects or threathens their jobs and livelyhoods.

People in the AI (using this term very loosely here) business are worried that only the biggest players effectively monopolize AI with the help of badly thought out (or plain corrupt) regulations that may be set in place in the near future.

These two issues are not mutually exclusive problems, these two groups are not fighting against eachother. It feels like a typical divide and conquer, where the regular people are being pitted against eachother because of your view, while they should work together towards a solution for both of their problems and fight bad regulation (and monopolies in AI).

Generative "AI" enthusiasts build their models by ripping off creative human beings for profit.

Generative "AI" enthusiasts fear that bigger fish will squeeze them out of the niches they created for themselves through theft.

Suggesting that artists and genAI enthusiasts should "work together" to defend the regulatory environment of the latter is ludicrous; it would be like a burglar breaking into my house, stealing my appliances, and asking for my support in his campaign for mayor!
