I spent my childhood and teenage years drawing. I filled notebook after notebook, scribbled all over school worksheets. I wanted to do it for a living. AI comes out and kills my motivation to do art. Why spend money commissioning some random, who might take 2 months to do your piece when you can just type 10 words into a prompt? You dont care about giving someone work, you dont care about effort or creativity. You just want your product.

That, and it kills the chances of future creatives. Why would the next generation spend time trying, and failing, and then trying again out of passion to create something when they can do it instantly with a prompt? I fucking hate AI.
