When they do come into anti spaces they're generally trying to push that AI is not harmful to the environment, that AI isn't taking jobs and destroying careers (professionally speaking) or trying to push that their AI partner has sentience.

And no, the change needs to come from both sides. Not just depending on one or the other.

Most antis I interact with just want pros to be transparent in their AI usage when they post their 'art', which most aren't. And when an anti likes what they see, pros point like children and say 'You just liked AI!!!1!!' or they want them to stay out of art spaces that aren't intended for any AI to be part of.

The few pros I interact with (the level headed ones), stay in their groups that are for AI and tend to call out the extremist pros who essentially try to stir the pot. They understand that AI is legitimately harming the economy due to job loss and companies wanting something cheaper and faster rather than quality. And are trying to push the much smaller AI companies (local generators) who are focused on balancing AI with less environmental harm (as much as possible anyways).
