That's not the line of thinking I was on, at all. I hear you but I was thinking about something else, not the general AI art debate. More about the reaction I suppose, and being forced into a position to take responsibility for someone's gross misrepresentation of your work, for instance. Say one used AI to write jokes for them, and someone didn't find it funny or found it to be offensive, does one still stand by their work and defend it? Probably not. How could they, honestly?

People follow artists, not art. I wasn't talking about images. Talking about artists. Might be able to explain what I'm talking about a little better in an article, with several other scenarios and some not even involving art.
