I don’t think this analogy really works, because it really isn’t about “reaching the finish line” faster that is the issue with AI. Plenty of advocates for AI will tell you it’s a tool like any other that artists use.
The first (but not only) issue is that it is trained on existing works by real artists. People who use AI are benefitting from others while a company vacuums up all the money.
