The issue as I see it is Midjourney and other programs aren't creating these images, they're trained using thousands if not millions of existing artworks created by actual artists like you, and they're aggregating the results into a unique piece. Without the years of training, practice and work of real artists, none of these AI platforms would exist.

I just recently read about it on multiple platforms. I am a digital artist and I do love AI generated art things. Most of them look so heckin fantastic, these shown above too. They are beautiful, no doubt about it. What pains me, is that it is implied that years of practice, hours of hard work and still being greatly underpaid, is worth nothing. Artists already have to fight for their place as it's already degraded as not being a 'serious profession' often enough... I'm not made for him or anyone using AI, I'm mad that he used it to gain personal profit. I'm mad that he thinks 'changing/selecting 900 options' equals hours if not days of detailed work from scratch.
