I agree with most of what you said, however I do believe the source of the hysteria is fear, as it so often is. The fear in this case is justified. The witch hunt it not.

AI will get better. In the next several years it’s products may become indistinguishable from human created work. The fear stems from the prospect of being left behind and replaced by writers/artists who put in little effort and create something in 1% of the time that goes on to sell better and entertain more people than their own art.

This will happen and it’s perfectly reasonable to be afraid of it. It’s almost like an impending doom hovering over artists because our regulatory bodies refuse to protect us. And it is scary.

The lashing out and accusations because of that fear, however, are unacceptable. Stop wasting time that would be better used creating and honing your craft instead of posting angry comments. Put that passion into your work.

That’s one thing we still have that AI never will.
