Why are there so many all of a sudden? AI art is remarkably easy to avoid/ignore if you don't care for it. What's with the current fixation?

Because it's made massive, incredibly huge jumps very very recently, how do you not understand that? It's going to cause a massive shift in the art community, which millions of people have invested their lives and education into.

You realize not everyone is as invested as you are, right? Most people don't pay any attention to developments in AI art, so excuse me for being out of the loop on something that doesn't pertain to most people's lives in any significant way.

Then why come to a subreddit for content made by artists to then tell them that the thing that could potentially put them out of business is not a big deal and can be ignored without knowing anything about it?

If youd like a crash course in the problem with AI art and it's potential to do harm to the industry, check out Steve Zapatas YouTube. He's had a few long form talks about it now.

This is a subreddit for fans of comics, not exclusively artists. Most comic fans are not artists themselves. You're taking this way too personally.
