I, too, is somewhat curious in what A.I. generated pictures may, will, or won't influence the artists that earn money with their art.
And I sincerely respect their fears.
For me, tools like Stable Diffusion are nothing more than another toy that won't avoid me to continue with my Vic4's collection.

IMO dropping a series a words in two "black boxes", move sliders, change a value here or there. select a sampling method or another isn't doing art, even though if this implies knowledge, experience and training. It's playing, like any other game.

Simply because one have very few control on the creating process: you just throw parameters and wait for a more or less random response.

But it remains fun.

A.I represent a for bigger danger when people are using them instead of searching and studying by themselves. The human brain needs to train, to learn, fun is only part of its development, even if it's important. The danger even increases when we can find proofs that often their responses look very well formulated but biased.
