> Replacing humans in areas that humans are passionate about, forcing humans to compete with machines, is frankly inhuman

I don't think it's going to "force" anyone out. We didn't suddenly fire all the artists the second that the camera was invented. We didn't stop paying for live concerts the moment that recorded music was available to purchase.

> Machines exist for the pleasure of humans, not the other way around

I am not good at art. I find it pleasurable to be able to generate a picture in a few seconds that I can use for stuff. It allows me to focus on other things that I find fun instead of opening up CorelPainter and spending hours on something that won't look as good as the AI stuff.

I could of course hire someone to do the art for me, but that cost money that I don't really have. The anti-AI people who just parrot "JUST PAY AN ARTIST LOLOLOL!" are dumb if they think that most people just have cash lying around to spend on random bits of custom art.

Last time I checked, I am human. The AI art manages to allow me to enjoy things I wouldn't have been able to easily achieve before.
