    The End of Originality? I think AI art is unethical

    As an artist and designer, it’s been almost impossible to get work in my field. When I voice this, the first thing I’m told is to create AI art. Why is this even a thing? Now, I’m not against AI in general. I’m only against AI to create overall images because it takes from various…
