I don't understand why people haven't thrown in the towel, it's obvious at this point that AI art by its nature solves the market for an exponentially growing percentage of the demand for artwork. There's no denying that this is a loss for humanity as we cede yet another part of our reality to machines, but at the same time trying to build elaborate tools like this is a clear waste of time since from the get go, since it doesn't change anything about the core issue.
