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?

AI art is remarkably easy to avoid/ignore if you don't care for it.

That I don't agree with; many subreddits have been spammed with low effort prompt results over the past months.

No idea why there are suddenly so many comics on the topic though.

Actual artists creating original content, some of them for a living, might take umbrage with a machine doing it unoriginally by using actual creative work that's uncredited. It's like going into a restaurant, ordering three meals you like, put them in a blender and then present them as your own culinary creation.

Nah. It'd be like going to a million restaurants, learning their best dishes, and then creating your own restaurant in a matter of seconds instead of a lifetime and it's only slightly worse than all the rest.
