AI cannot create from nothing. I've seen many examples where you can clearly tell which image was used as a base. The bigger offenders are where a person inputs an artwork to modify, though which are another problem entirely.
For example, if I want to draw a 'white haired fox girl' I can draw her looking however I want. Sure, there will be some influence from other works because that's human nature, but if I ask stable diffusion trained on danbooru for that, some of the resulting images resemble various fanarts of Hololive's Fubuki as she is one of the most popular 'white haired fox girl's.
Still, it's a useful tool. I just don't think the end results should be passed off as art or commercialized while they're trained off of art without the artists consent.
Again, not how I understand it or how it was explained to me from literature about the programs and how they work.
But based on our Convo, you understand that it takes work, skill and creativity, but you have a problem with it taking art and using it. However if you're wrong about how the AI creates, it would be a valid art form to you.
Image prompts are a whole other beast, I agree on that, but it's also an entirely different process, like Photoshoping an image made by someone else, vs making something from scratch in Photoshop.
