Most of the criticism is from bandwagoning and emotion rather than critical thought. People screech and gnash their teeth as if the evil developers and AI researchers are conspiring to destroy all art ever; it's quite frankly ridiculous.

It's terribly sad that others cry for the removal of this freedom and brand it as some noble cause.
