generally speaking, i hate AI and its theft of artists of all walks/persuasions/creative paths, and its theft of pieces of anyone/everyone

(i've heard it can be helpful in medical/surgery situations. maybe it can. i don't know--but we're not talking about that)

what puzzles me (bothers me/drives me crazy) is when creatives/artists use AI (such as singer/songwriter/musician releases a cd and uses AI art rather than having an actual artist create the artwork)
