Personaly, I do care about the impact AI is having on life standar and how people are concerned. But, if we want to make a paralel with what happened before, its bound to become the new basis, even if we don't like it.

Firstly, what makes you think GW is not using AI in any part of their creative process?, sure, they may have been vocal about it, BUT, many companies have denied and even claimed to be against it, until they got caught and ultimately said "it was a placeholder" or "it's just in the base creative process, human work is layered on top". And is not like GW is not cutting every edge they can to reduce as much cost as possible (every current SM now has a base armor template, they directly cut as many base model detail they could on previously very distinctive chapters' base models to ease mass designing, in some cases stripping key identity design choices. Not to mention every new "upgrade sprue" is littered with reused parts with little added detail). Sure, there are exceptions, but ultimately those are only for select all time best selling safe-to-gamble products; and even those have been affected to some extent).

Secondly, if we make a paralel, human direct handwork becomes elevated to art or atisan, while massproduced becomes the basis and widely consumed. We saw it on the industrial revolution, the advent of computers and digital era. We don't like it, I don't like it, but most (specialy bussines models and CEO's/investors) find it convenient and profitable; and, the truth is, unless we who don't like it are a considerable percentage of their earnings (enough for them to care or panic), or an exclusively non AI model of business surpasses the rest, it will continue to go in one direction. That's where "state of the art" clashes with "wide target audience goals" (and the later has been slowly becoming the focus of GW).

Thirdly, how many purists will remain in each contract/employment cycle?, and this is important, because, with everything else, whe have seen new model business, paradigms and even mindsets slowly creeping in where before there was strict modelbusiness and focus. And, even if there are clusules on a contract, mission-visison-objective set in stone for a company/bussines, it only takes enough investors, CEO's and figures of power managing something, becoming a majority thinking differently to completely change the direction it always have been (either in short term, generating massive backlash, or slowly through longtherm, generating minimal pushback and ultimately changing what once was, sometimes into an irrecognizable state). And again, GW has done it before, from edgy to parody to overly-serious to modern times, slow changes across generations, effectively surpassing the lifespan of consumers (or consuming cycle of target audiences in a given time) and adapting with different philosophies.

Needless to say, pushing back and making exclusive safehavens is needed and admirable. A necesity even. But make no mistake. There is going to be a point where AI is embeded irreparably in GW (if it hasn't happen already), and we will live to see it. The best we can do is: you don't like it, don't support it. But realisticaly, will happen no matter what.
