> AI art is apparently so bad that artists are willing to hand them the keys to their castle. Because - believe or not - a lot of artists benefit from Disney and other giants. By directly getting hired by them, building social media followers with fanart of their IP, taking questionable commissions of their characters, etc. Is this a fair and healthy relationship? Perhaps not. But it's indefinitely better than what "AI artists" brought to human artists. Of course Disney is not artists' friend and we all know what will happen: artists will end up being squeezed from the both sides, AI and big IP holders (who deploy their own AIs while suing open weights) anyway.
