expressing creativity and inspiring others to do the same is unique to the human experience. AI proponents view art not as an expression of self but as a faceless product to be consumed (and as such are happy to remove the human element entirely) but the latter without the former has no meaning and inspires no meaning in others.
the art we create is also a result of our own study, practice, and effort. much of what makes art worth appreciating isn't just the end result but the process itself. if someone makes ghibli-esque animation with sora or whatever, it looks fine, but i can't look at it in awe of the massive effort and years of study and practice it took for the artists to get to that point and feel inspired to do the same with my own ideas, because it was generated automatically by a machine and i am not a machine.
to see proponents and users of AI try to eliminate this uniquely human experience that has given many of us a life purpose throughout all of our species' history for the sake of quicker and easier consumption is something that must be opposed, and without capitalism i don't think anyone would truly be compelled to try to automate art because art is not and was never about making products more efficiently.
