One could have an argument about what it means to create art, what art is meant to represent, point to how early Paleolithic man felt it important to create cave paintings in breathtaking detail, and have a complex discussion on AI being able to do more than simple, repetitive tasks.
But we know these people lack the introspection required for that. They would rather cry about it being "theft" when an algorithm learns how to draw through references.
Ironically, the human imperfections in all his art makes him far safer from AI art than most. Same with them looking to be actual physical pieces. The kind of things that add value to a piece beyond the basic.
Simulated imperfections will continue to be noticeably different from actual ones.
The entire "sexbot" (and really human bot in general) industry has yet to truly overcome that problem and the uncanny valley. Same with Video Game AI, wherein we are almost half a century in and they can only either make them retarded or just let them ignore mechanics to simulate any form of actual interaction. And even then its completely readable when you poke at it.
If I want to have a piece of art made I have very specific ideas in mind that the AI (currently) cannot do. I mean think of having art of a troll made.
Do I mean a LotR movie troll? Or a Warcraft troll? Or Warhammer? Or another monster that is called a "troll" in the universe. The AI cannot help me there if I have a specific subset in mind.
An artist can draw it how I want and also add small details that I deem important (the creature is in front of a certain place of power or wields a specific weapon).
I mean people sound like stock art doesn't exist and I can license (for commercial purposes) great art like like this for $15. Sure another product from another company might contain the same picture, but who cares? And if you care about that you are big enough and have the money to get pictures exactly to your liking done.

You can do that with Stable Diffusion, if you can draw a little, or have photoshop or GIMP, and a little patience.
You can composite multiple AI images into a new one, and then have it 're-draw' the image with low 'freedom' so it doesn't do much more than make the lines and light and shadow consistent.
Does he have better arts than... this? I haven't been impressed with western artists nowadays because I don't really have any interest in comic books nor western style drawing. Once again appreciation of arts is pretty subjective, and I'm highly biased that I'm not exactly quiet about the fact I like Japanese style drawings.
Why would I support a human artist's page protesting AI art when AIs can make better art pages protesting AI art at a fraction of the cost?

This is almost certainly a small child going along with what he thinks is a good cause. He's too young and stupid to know better.
That's the best case scenario.
"Computer, draw a lizard in the style of my 8 year old son."
"Sorry, kid. From now on we will be decorating the fridge with art made by the robot. #LearnToCode."
This is kind of how the reactionary response is going.
Well, I mean I hope he gets better at art. I wish him the best, truly.

We can simply make AI that simulates imperfections.

As long as "artists" persist in the abomination known as Cal arts or modern art, they will get no support from me AI or no AI.
I would side with Artstation artists if they weren't generally whiny libtard freaks, but they are, so anything that's bad for them is fine with me.
Modern artists have nothing to fear.

No.
Cheap open source tools for all.
Oh, no they messed this all up:
Welcome to Snap-On, how can I help you?
I'm not even upset about this. Let them learn.
Wait...
Is the top middle image LGBTQ2SIA+ ? (the question mark is not part of the acronym)
