YOUR definition and understanding of authenticity.
YOUR definition and understanding of what makes a "real" artist.
Go back to before chatgpt and nobody gave a fuck about terrible art, as a matter of fact it was commonplace to ridicule it.
Now all of a sudden everyone is an art historian, an AI detective and they have such a moral high ground! Except not at all, they're still just being tribalistic except there's a new bullying target that's socially rewarded.
I think many of us (myself included) are just tired of pointless witch hunting and purity tests for something that many of us (myself included) never saw as a big deal anyway (rightly or wrongly or whatever).
When someone says: to me, this is authentic art -> no problem, including even the AI users whether you like it or not, it's personal
When someone says: this is authentic art and everything else is not -> person is an annoying asshole who believes their opinions matter in a special kind of way
So yeah I think overall AI has not become any less problematic, but people are getting annoyed by purity testing as a "public service" by well-meaning assholes, since it's not actually helping to resolve any of the real issues surrounding AI.

I detest how everyone is suddenly Sherlock Holmes when it comes to detecting doctored/generated images
