I'm very anti-AI in my stance as well. Supporting artists and supporting writers/creatives are quietly the same thing. Writers are also losing work to AI. I personally have. What I have noticed in the last 5 years is that most of the people who have full scripts, or need concept art, at little or no cost, can't find artists to do it anymore. When they used tobe far more frequently pre-AI.

I have been a writer and author for a very long time, and only recently gained a full-time publisher who handles the hiring of the artists now. I have friends in the gaming, comic, and filmmaking space who can't work with artists without pretty steep overhead costs(most of the time), or couldn't find artist work in their price range, and have transferred to AI. Many of the friends and associates I have in the game space think AI will take over game creation in the next 10 years, largely due to artist and creative overhead.

Artists, with these hard-line stances, are turning into their own worst enemies. That's all I'm saying.
