    Largely agree but I think there are one it two more camps.

    • People who feel threatened to irrelevance as artists trying to use art as their primary means to make money

    • People who realize that CEOs and higher up people in companies actually do intend to replace human workers as soon as they can, even before it’s properly viable.

    I’m pro AI, but I largely see the AI backlash as inventing complex moral justification to oppose it when the core issues are it’s impact on the livelihood of artists under capitalism.

    Obviously AI art is just as valid as human art, and there is nothing inherently special about human creations. We are actually just biological machines and our behavior and output is easily emulatable.

      I would just tend to group those as two sub camps under the third, anti-capitalist, camp that I mentioned, but I can see reason them to put them on the same hierarchical level.

      Most of the problems with AI are with it accelerating the already ongoing effects of capitalism.
