I can comment on this as an artist myself.

I think AI generated images (as all AI technology used in different areas) would be best used as an extension for an artist’s workflow as opposed to a total replacement of the artist. AI can speed up the creative process in multiple ways. I personally occasionally use AI generated images to get inspiration for things like poses, hairstyles, clothing and colours. The middle two especially, since I’m really bad at coming up with stuff sometimes. XD

I don’t mind if users post AI generated images as long as they don’t do it in a deceptive way, like actively hiding the fact that the image is AI generated, or worse, claiming that they made it. The argument of “I wrote the prompt” doesn’t really work because you giving specifications for a commission or a request for an artist doesn’t magically mean you made the art that artist creates either. Better yet, some kind of disclaimer about it being AI art would be good so people who do not want to see it know to ignore it or filter it out (if possible).

I’m not as doom and gloom about AI art as some people seem to be. Probably because I’m both a techie and an artist. As long as AI cannot reliably combine separate, possibly never-before-combined contexts in a creative manner, I am not going to be too worried about it becoming a replacement for human creativity. Though I do see that it could be used to amazing gains by someone who knows a thing or two about creating art.
