As an artfag myself, I've tried to explain to multiple people that literally nothing stops me from saving their art and training the AI on my consumer grade desktop GPU. It doesn't take long to get results - 4 hours of training and the AI can recognizably mimic the style.
There is NO stopping this. It can't be stopped. They can protest all they like, it will effect nothing now that the code is already out there. Anyone can train their own AI, and there is simply no way to stop them training it on anything they like.
The thing artists have going for themselves should be themselves and their creativity. This is the point where they should show it and not get pissy in twitter of all places. I've got one artist I follow who I could easy train an AI on, but why should I? Is already making good art and I am happy with that.
Meanwhile I am playing around with the AI to learn how to do certain stuff with it and refine work flows for it. I've also used it on my own art and that worked pretty well too.
This exactly. You can train a program to generate a picture in the style of Rembrandt, but it's not a Rembrandt. I thought people at ArtStation especially would understand that. When we follow someone, we want their original work.
If I were an artist who ever intended to make any sort of living, I would give serious consideration what medium my original work is in, even if I had to learn a new one. There's a reason why dudes on youtube are selling live edge epoxy tabletops for thousands of dollars and a lot of artists facing this new tech work for pennies. I've always wanted to learn plaster relief making myself. AI won't be doing that for some time.
They can't really stop people from downloading their images and using them as training data. Especially if the AI isn't being used to sell a product.

The Rat WILL get his cut
the rat is a bit sick right now if we're thinking of the same one.
I think the rat is the one that started this. They get to pretend to support IP, and the little guy.
