Look at Artstation, their whole userbase gets riot cause AI images are flooding the market - users force them to ban AI but as big company u don't want close yourself out of new technologies and markets and u see your competitors go with it.
Yes the main reason for the rise is the user experience to make something own - nobody is on the point yet to say, AI images are better than real ones - but the feeling to do not NEED someone else to "produce" something with boobies you can watch - that's a form of getting "power". It's abstract yes. I also believe it's a lot of hype now where everyone want try it and it makes just fun and its something new. Also this hype will be gone and then it will be a normal tool.

I was thinking the problem with AI was too much gatekeeping and proprietry bullshit.
Big tech firms hogging data and models, which they stole ("scraped") from all of us, under the guise of 'safety' or 'responsibility'. As if Silicon Valley sociopaths even know the meaning of those words, when it's all about greed, control and money. "Open" AI? Good one.
Deep Fakes hysteria was half a decade ago now, but the world hasn't ended since 2018, at least not because of fake Gal Gadot porn, but I also haven't heard of much development in that area since all the fuss that was made.
I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of the hype with AI now is artificial and stoked by OpenAI itself, because ChatGPT is nowhere near what it's made out to be, in my experience, especially for generating code, which is at least 75% inaccurate.
I think the hype is justified for AI in general though, relative to its massive potential, unlike say crypto/blockchain, which nobody has yet unearthed a use for in a decade and a half, other than computer tokens, and VR/Metaverse which is years away from being ready for practical everyday usage.
Open source is what will drive AI, not Big Tech trying to keep it to themselves, and I can't wait for the day we can create plausible new Beatles tracks on our phones, or movies generated by AI, in whatever genre, with whatever actors we want.
I mean most human made movies are average at best, and if it's not the actual Fab Four singing, so what? It's not them when I listen to other music either, but I still like it.
If I was on Artstation I'd probably be complaining too, because I'm a human being and that's what we like to do, but I think 'artists' may be gatekeeping as well, or perhaps using AI as an excuse for their lack of sales or popularity. Instead of attacking AI, they should be looking at how it can help them, because it is simply revolutionary for media and creative arts.
Unsplash, Pexels and the like are free image resources but photographers are still demand, and indeed submit their work to those sites to get exposure they otherwise wouldn't.
Different things appeal to different markets, and different people have different requirements.
AIs have no 'soul', which I think is reflected in what they generate, but sometimes that doesn't matter.
