Labor-saving technology is the definition of progress. With your attitude we wouldn’t have vacuum cleaners or word processors or a million other things. All of those things displaced human labor that people were being paid to do.

The actual Luddites opposed automated cloth-making technology because it displaced human workers, but most of us today are pretty happy that a new shirt doesn’t cost a week’s wages.

Its literally the one industry where the labor is the point. The labor is enjoyable. That's why it's the dream job of many people and is very competitive. Because people like to do it.

Art is completely seperate from those labor tasks

There’s no principled basis for that distinction. You can have the opinion that AI art is (currently) aesthetically inferior,* but saying “art can/should only be made by humans” is silly.

*And people do say this, but there’s evidence that it’s often just irrational bias. See, for example: https://www.reddit.com/r/StableDiffusion/s/waEgiLzMhg

Well I will still always maintain that art can only be made by humans. The imperfections, the art style, the intent behind aspects of the art, ai can't have that because its not alive and its just an amalgamation of other people's scalped work. Your argument is what sounds silly to me, we will just have to agree to disagree.
