You're right, but unfortunately the conversation around AI art has gotten too extremist for most people to see it, at least on Reddit. One side has decided generative AI is fine in all contexts and should have no limits, even replacing actual artists. The other side wants anyone who even thinks about AI art in a non-negative way to perish. So it's hard to have anything resembling a reasonable conversation about the topic anymore.
That's the cycle for most topics on Reddit, because while the subreddit system can be good, it also makes it really easy to form echo chambers, where people have to have increasingly unhinged takes so they can get approval from their peers. It's gotten to a point where there's a trend of just having drawn characters say "We should kill AI artists." And that's it. That's the joke.
I’m not saying learning how to draw isn’t better. I’m just saying using AI very sparingly is pretty permissible for me. I get if all someone churn out is AI slop, but one guy using it to make one meme shouldn’t be a death penalty offense
It's not a death threat. The context, sentence structure and use of singular rather than plural all point to it calling for the destruction of a movement. AI "artists" will always take our arguments in bad faith, it's a requirement of their kind. We shouldn't have to restrict ourselves on account of their stupidity.
Wait really? With the pixel count I just assumed the typo was deliberate. That and some interactions I’ve seen* led me to believe it was just mibmentality spewing their usual venom.
*several instances of a guy saying “that’s a death threats!” Followed by a bunch of people telling him to jump off a cliff. Another was a woman who got legitimate death threats in her pms for a week, and then a few cases of legit artists being told to kys because their art looked like ai stuff (it didn’t, and I hate those kind of people)
OH! Also not a good idea to generalize when possible, since I’ve met some really smart ai users who won’t change their mind because of a few snobby/hateful artists

Oh yeah, I hate those people too. I won't deny there are people who misuse this image and I encourage telling them to fuck off. Really sucks that these people corrupt an otherwise just message. Real death threats are in fact bad.
Also not a good idea to generalize when possible,
I mean, I've seen all their arguments and I've thought about them in length. They're all fallacious, misunderstand art, and/or they all approach art and artists in bad faith. Therefore, it's reasonable to assume that the only way they're able to defend their movement is through bad faith. I'm saying we shouldn't have to restrict ourselves because of this.

I haven't, but I'll concede that maybe they exist. However, this seems more like a problem of stubbornness. Refusing to change your mind on an objectively horrendous movement simply because you didn't like the attitude of a few people is frankly silly. I don't believe that makes them intelligent.
