I think it's more that serious artists who don't want to burn their bridges are keeping their AI experimentation/production a secret. It's difficult to openly talk about that work when your friends and acquaintances are saying things like, "People who use gen-ai should die," or, "If you use gen-ai, I never want to talk to you again, instant block."

That side is quite vocal, and has been effective at resulting their fanbases into a witch hunt for anyone who's ever even touched ChatGPT. So anyone who disagrees just stays quiet, for the most part.

This leans much too hard on the drama of victimization and tribalism ("people in the 'other camp' want me to die", they're "vocal").

I don't know what you're implying, but that's an incorrect read anyhow. "The people in 'MY camp' want me to die, they just don't know that they're talking about me, and it's bad and consistent enough that I've had to mute mutuals to avoid constant anxiety and demoralization," is better.
