As a small time art hobbyist with a nonzero but very small amount of technical background, the AI art wars have been a fascinating, if tense, story with major implications for how people like me can navigate the waters of creating content and putting it out there in an increasingly changed market and environment.

Unfortunately, most of the level of discourse that runs in my circles is between Team Artists (i.e. people who have apparently never taken a single computer or copyright law-related course in their lives) and Team AI (a group of teenagers who believe at least 90% of computing power in existence should be redirected towards the sole goal of generating images of clinical macromastia in anime style).

I can't speak for anyone else, but your work on this subject has been eye-opening without the editorializing or bullshit of either side. I don't know how much work you put into researching and writing these posts but I can say that for myself and others like me not infected by internet brainworms but who can't find an unbiased source to learn about all this stuff, the entire post dedicated to the AI art wars would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers and best wishes.
