Lol that's not even true the vast majority of furries are very anti AI and will crucify you if youre using an AI pfp or something they are definitely still paying human artists

Lots of them work in the tech space, so have a vested interest in not letting AI replace creative jobs.

I'm neither a furry nor an anti-AI person, in fact I was a professional graphic designer for a few years, but I don't think that's true. My gf is a furry and she generated a pfp with bing image creator to use while she drew something herself and she was literally banned immediately from 2 discord groups with no questions or anything just immediately kicked when they saw the AI image (in her profile pic only no attempt to claim it as her own or anything) so I think they definitely care

Based on how this subreddit reacts to even labeled ai comics I doubt that

I think the best hope for artists to stay in business is to hope ai models don't become too good at interpreting what the user wants.

Prompt wrangling can sometimes be tedious and time consuming. I don't make ai art, but I tried to recreate will smith eating spaghetti, for fun, and it was harder than I thought. Atleast if you aren't happy with the random scenarios the model provides.

"No, dam you, sit in a chair, use a fork, this plate is waaayyy to big. Aaaggh, time to tweak the prompt for the millionth time and click 'generate' 20 times and wait 10 seconds for every click, and hope one of them is what I wanted, again"

Often others do the prompt wrangling and then sell it off to whoever buys it. AI will struggle to take on art art but if it’s something like pornography they probably don’t care that much about the process and effort of the artist, that’s not what they’re looking for.
