Considering its a fan creation using two different licensed properties (one of which is overplayed to death in these types of things), I don't think any would accuse it of being incredibly creative to begin with.
The same thing was said of photoshop and digital art in general not 30 years ago. And prior to that, industrialisation in general. But I doubt you, or any of the AI critics, are actively eager to give up Ikea furniture for custom made pieces crafted by traditional artisans, and pay the appropriate prices for such a service and good.
The working class has faced their jobs being eradicated for decades, often to a lower but standardised quality, and very few people have given a fuck. Why should artists, the majority of which are side-hustles, get any special treatment for what has clearly been the status quo?
And I should note, I'm not some fan of AI art. If given the choice, I'd prefer artisans were the dominant market, and I've never really gone looking for AI art outside a couple of curiosities fairly early on. But artisans aren't the dominant market, and it's not been the status quo. The status quo has been to industrialise everything, and that includes the cushy white collar workers.
Oh, and before you bring up that things like Ikea and other non-artisan goods are completely different, let me quote you. "It doesn't enable creativity, it enables mimicry." These goods are not created. They're mimicked.
Interesting that we're focusing solely on the woodwork here and not the larger issue of you, like most I've found complaining about muh AI, turning a blind to the entire industrial process.
My point was that I doubt you're going Ted Kaczynski on us. You're willing to bitch that AI isn't CrEaTiVe, but you'll ignore the near death of entire professions that have taken place over your life.
Cry over all the lost horses because cars were invented while you're at it, because it's clear you're not interested in discussing the point that AI isn't as revolutionary as AI-critics are making it out to be. It's the status quo, and none of you gave half as much a shit about any of that than you do about white-collar side hustles losing their grift.
I am okay with this.
AI synthesis threatens to be even worse than recording in its impact on creative media.
To the extent that it equalizes creators, it does so by appropriation. It doesn't enable creativity, it enables mimicry.
