"by doing a public backlash like this people will start to hide that they use genai now instead of the opposite if people embraced them" nah, they'd have done that anyway no matter the response.

"Truly the fault lies in the people being vocally upset and not the people using it" you are very smart

the thing that drives me insane about genAI/chatgpt bullshit is that brother, the process IS the work IS the entire thing. no artist comes to art for the final result. the final result is inextricable from the fucking labor that came into making it
