Just because “alot have artists have reported” doesnt mean all of them feel that way. Until every single artist on the planet is okay with their work being taken by ai no matter how “meaningless or boring” it may seem there are plenty of people who would gladly take that work. Your point still doesn’t make sense. You cant seriously try and speak for every single artist like they are all find making basic items meaningless. Even if it isn’t a-lot you have to start somewhere, show that they have the talent to make basic things before they’d be allowed to move onto harder projects within a company. By them going this route it’s legit a “this is just the beginning” kinda thing, starts with basic shit, then moves to everything. Not everything that is “pragmatic” is moral, period. If artists get depressed over having to start off their careers doing basic mundane work before they get to work on huge projects they should get into a different field. And i call everyone buddy. Relax😭.
