The issue is AI is taking bits and pieces of actual artists works, and frankensteining them together without *any* permission of the artists it it taking from.
That plus people are literally using it to *copy* artists works by throwing tons of their images into it so it can learn their style. Hell, there is even a case of someone going to an artists stream, screenshotting the unfinished image throwing it into an AI to "complete" it then posted their version AND THEN tried to DMCA the actual artists image as a copy of their stolen art.
But, you are correct in that AI is a tool, but simply generating an image and being done with it isn't the way to go. If you, say, took this and used it akin to how an artist uses a sketch (as in, you take this as a base, then you manually tweak it, fix issues like her hands and her horrible face that looks like she has two faces smooshed together) that's another story.
It can also be used to enhance images you've drawn. But to simply.....type a few words and make an image and try to call yourself as talented as an artist who has spent thousands of hours honing their skill is an insult to said artists. Or heck, it can even be used to generate an image like this that you can then give to an artist you want to commission as a reference of "here is what I'd like you to draw". Uses like that are fine, but it shouldnt be passed off as a finished product or on par with an actual artists work.
I would like to see AI not posted here, at least not AI that isn't used properly as a tool rather than a replacement for actually creating or commissioning art. But as it stands, images like this are using stolen assets from other artists pieced together like a jigsaw puzzle and without getting permission from the people it is taking from.
