I joined a fbook group that is artists against Ai. That's one sad group of backwards people.
Might as well be farmers against tractors.

People will always be against something that hurts their ability to make money
Yeah, but it only hurts their ability to make money because they don't want to learn anything new. It could dramatically magnify their ability to make money & to solve people's problems, but most of them don't actually think in terms of creating value for others.
They have no choice but to adapt. One possible option - move to a form of art that you might call “a layer up” in complexity, like games.
Artist adapt and come up with novel approaches. It's their job.
