The objections to AI image gens, training sets containing stolen data, etc. all apply to LLMs that provide coding help. AI web crawlers search through git repositories compiling massive training sets of code, to train LLMs.
Art is meant to be an expression of the self and a form of communication. It’s therapeutic, it’s liberating, it’s healthy and good. We make art to make and keep us human. Chatbot art doesn’t help us, and in fact it makes us worse - less human. You’re depriving yourself of enrichment when you use a chatbot for art.
Code is mechanical and functional, not really artistic. I suppose you can make artistic code, but coders aren’t doing that (maybe they should, maybe code should become art, but for now it isn’t and I think that’s a different conversation). They’re just using tools to perform a task. It was always soulless, so nothing is lost.
That’s what the OP is about, so…
Has AI made you unable to read?

Just because I don’t have a personal interest in AI art doesn’t mean I can’t have opinions.
But your opinion is off topic.
It’s all the same… Not sure why you’d have differing opinions between AI for code and AI for art, but please lmk, I’m curious.
Code and art are just different things.
