As a friend would say, it's like industrial beer: everyone buys it because it's cheap and easy to get, but there's also a market for craft beer that's a little more expensive but tastes better. But they also have their audience.

Because that's another problem: several artists who have become embroiled in this issue have neglected their work or upload very little of it.

At the end of the day, people aren't so stupid as to ignore artists and stop asking them for pieces.

From my experience, I've moved on from the issue and feel more comfortable focusing on aspects that can improve my work and on pleasing the audience that sees my work.

You put yourself in a position where you think, “I have to be better than her,” and many other things, and you get overwhelmed and overloaded and don't get anywhere.

I think it's better to ignore the whole issue of generative AI. It's a problem you can think about over and over again, and the only thing you'll get is a headache.
