Those are actual artists being asked in the article, if ya even read it. My uncle is an artist and uses AI now as just another tool in the toolbox. I have artist friends from around the world that in one way or another couldn’t continue their art and turned to AI to continue it. Here’s a hard pill to swallow- people that don’t like AI either don’t understand it, or they still think AI steals art, or they are tunnel visioned on the shitty ones. Just an FYI, those platforms that were in fact stealing art are no longer around and haven’t been for over a year now. I know this because I’m an AI artist. shrugs
