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.
Even then, there's people who just make amazing art. I follow at least a couple artists who cannot be replaced by AI because they have got the amazing ideas, Ai can't imitate that. It's just the mediocre artists of the ones who do not plan to grow at all that are angry right now.
