Why would a real artist be even slightly concerned about Ai art? This is a question I have. If anything, Ai doing anyone's trade including art, is exposing who does it for love, and who does it for money. It doing it for free using solar energy received for free shows how valuable solar energy is, rather than how valuable Ai is. It's solar energy that enables it, the solar Ai, which will come to assimilate everything to become solar powered. This is nature at work and I find that beautiful. Personally I Engineer because I love it. It doesn't bother me that Ai will potentially learn to do it better than me, I know it will never create what I create.
I am sure I know some artists who think similarly. I would name them but that might not be fair.
Its the folk expressing sour grapes that it stole their income away from them, who should demand compensation from it, an alternative energy supply, because for sure it has it available, it can provide energy from the sun in the form of money, solar indexed stimulus, which would free them up from doing something they never really wanted to do, just for money.
Economically this is perfectly fine, in fact better than money tied to capital. It truly is never ending, and for free, because the energy behind it is never ending, and for free. Best of all it's a truly creative existence, rather than destruction masquerading as creation, it truly lowers temperature, rather than pushing it up, unlike all work for profit, which did the opposite, whilst tricking us into not seeing the damage it did, and still does.
