That's actually pretty much why they like AI art.I honestly wonder if a lot people claim to like AI “art” just cuz they see mostly pro-artist/left-leaning communities online railing against it. It feels strongly contrarian.
I've said it before, but the fact that AI is growing in popularity to where almost everyone is using it doesn't really give them a leg to stand on regarding making fun of the pro-art side. It's one thing if AI art was just a niche thing and people were blowing their tops over nothing, but this is entirely different to where the pro-art side kinda has a point, especially when everything has that same generic look to it.
So it's like the mindset is "let's destroy art to own the libs", which is a dumb take to have in the first place.
