People are just mad they could be losing a job that pays them money, that's all.
If AI Art can replace non-AI art for whatever purpose it is being designed for, GOOD. The results of the product will speak for itself. The end. Every other argument is just fluff meant to disguise the true-motive of a person's argument, which generally is just whatever is in that person's self-interest.
Mostly this. Technology has been taking over jobs forever, it's just now it's taking over the jobs of a group of highly narcissistic people who have the ability to shout at the whole world and a journalistic class who (due to shared politics) are willing to amplify their shouts. Up until now, a lot of the impact has been on the more manual/physical labor classes, and now it is getting into the "creative" people. And the creatives are suddenly finding out they're just as replaceable and no more special than the silly laborers and their mental world is collapsing.
Ironically, it's actually the intellectual/creative types that will be the easiest to replace. Manual labor outside of assembly lines will be one of the last things truly replaced.
I'm gonna be real with you, it kind of sucks knowing that in a few years the AI will be writing better code than me. Having your entire career that's been 20 years in the making just obsoleted overnight...kind of a kick in the balls.
I'm on team Butlerian Jihad.

I don't do nearly enough drugs to do that.
I'd argue that journalists know they are next. AI already produces results that are at least on par with most "journalists"
Can you tell the difference between these dozen stories? Some are written by an AI, and some are written by H1B Visa Indians and Chinese. If you can't tell the difference, you're fired! Learn to code, pay $8, etc.
