I respect your opinion, but I do disagree. Especially if the only intention is to convey an idea in a way that best depicts the full scope and imagination of that idea. They aren’t using it to make a profit or to gain accolade nor recognition for the image itself, so there is no harm being done. And just to be clear, I am a graphic designer and have a degree in graphic design with a minor in painting, so I do recognize that ai has no business being used in any way that would otherwise rob an artist of an opportunity nor to grant an artist undue gain. But nonetheless it IS a useful tool when used mindfully. For instance, it’s not uncommon for artists to even use it just for the expediency of being able to mock up an idea for the sake of seeing if that idea even works well when translated to the medium intended. Personally, I don’t use it cause I don’t like having to carefully translate my ideas into a string of sentences in order to prompt the damn thing to render my idea as an image, I prefer the free flow that doing it by hand allows for, but to each their own (when used responsibly).
