re: feeding and artists work to generate imitations - If ai contains copyrighted work in it’s process the work should remain with the originial artist regardless of what is output.
The same thing happened when the switch was made from conventional animation to computer generated animation or digital drawing instead of pen and paper. None of these advances “killed” the above, traditional means are still used. All this is more than a complement to what already exists, in my humble opinion, instead of arguing about this type of thing, the big companies and production studios should focus on improving the working and living conditions of the people who dedicated to working in this sector.
It seems it is advancing in very quick pace. Not so long ago AI could only create something that could be named “art” only by someone highly in abstract, and what would be in next few years?

Why stupid? There is some genuinely nice stuff you can do with it. I am personally looking forward to the stable diffusion integration with Krita.
