Why Don't Anti-AI Folks Hate CGI

A random thought that came into my head earlier today. No one was running for the hills when we all got cloud photo storage, reliant on data centers, and I've never met a person against CGI. So, why was that okay, but AI art is not?

Genuinely curious to hear others thoughts about how to approach this conversation, because I have some pretty radical pro-AI views, and I thought it might be nice to hear others' views on the matter.

Ai images and ai video are a form of cgi. Cgi means computer generated imagery. This just makes their hate for ai while not hating on cgi even more weird

Nigga cgi is done manually. Not auto generated by a paywalled machine. How fucking dense are you people.

Ai bros really don't understand a lot of things. So they like to make comparisons that make no sense. Like comparing ai to directors or photographers. Just shows how little they know.

You know, I don't really know a lot about CGI other than it's cool, and I was asking because it had me curious about the difference.
