Personally, I use AI to make my images because I HAVE no creativity. I can't draw/paint, have trouble typing so something like a book is out of the question, and I certainly can't program so having AI make me a computer program to keep track of my characters was very helpful.
it seems like there is a blanket AI hate reaction when someone talks about generated AI images, like "You use AI to make images, you must be all for actors losing roles to AI generated "actors"" Nothing could be further from the truth. I think AI should stay out of movies/tv/music.
