If real art will be always visible, AI can't be a thread, can it?
Just to be clear: As an artists I even go to the length and try NOT TO HAVE ANY AI ART EVER REFLECT ON MY RETINA. I do not like it, and the way it's going.
But I am of the strong conviction that a blanket ban of anything backfires wildly. I find it sad that in many fields this is the way things are handled by the powers that be.
I would be happy if AI generated content would be marked as such (a bit like NSFW). Beyond that, I can take care of myself.
Pretty sure black markets prove your point.
