Hello, also an artist here. Actually got my line of work and several of my friends affected by the AI situation so I have quite the different opinion from the rest of the folks here. Things are all good and dandy until the client who usually contacted you suddenly went radio silent and you discover that they're secretly training a model from the arts you worked for them to make their own stuffs.

Bottom line is, AI is just another tool. Whether it's being put up to good use or bad use will always depend on its users.

There will never be a clear answer on how artists should respond to AI's existence. Stuffs changes everyday, the technology keeps on growing, and there are more people using it for various purposes. But there is one thing for sure.

Artists should never stop drawing and making their own arts, ever!! There is more to arts than just its results. It's a motoric skill, part of hand-eye coordination that one should always try to keep sharp. Part of the creation process also involves imagining scenarios, developing your very own visual library like models but in your very own brain. Depending too much on the AI will dull your skills.
