Artists stage mass protest against AI-generated artwork on ArtStation
At best they’ll *slightly* delay the development and deployment of AI that will render them utterly obsolete. Welcome to being just like everybody else.
So wouldn’t it make sense, rather than *not* producing art right now, to instead take this time to crank out as much art, and the best art, so that they can to try to maximize their income potential while they actually can? Artists are no more going to prevent the introduction of AI art than factory workers prevented automation.

No, on the contrary, learn as much as they can about “AI” art, and how to use “AI” effectively. Basically, the artists who embrace “AI” are the artists that are going to really be the ones who make it in the coming years.
Artists who feel threatened by “AI” are like engineers who feel threatened by CAD.
Good analogy.
Artists are no more going to prevent the introduction of AI art than factory workers prevented automation.
Remember those fast-food workers going on strike for $15+/hour … and losing their jobs to automated burger-flippers?
