What is known as "AI" for marketing purpose is meant to kill artists.

That is to say, it's made by techbros and corporate suits to make artists unable to ask for money for their work, by providing a cheap, easy-to-use and good-enough-in-quality-we-triple-swear alternative.

It's meant to depower artists, removing the means they have to ask for better work conditions and wages.

It's meant to discourage artists, making them either take worse deals or just stopping altogether.

So what I feel about using AI to generate backstories or campaign ideas is the same I feel about using AI for anything else: the individual may be using it for convenience, but each time they use it normalize it a little more.

And that's what the people who push for the removal of artists are banking on.
