> Why does this matter? I see the AI detractors still can't cope with the fact that you're allowed to charge for AI generated work.
It's interesting that you immediately call them an AI detractor because they refuse to pay for something that's low effort. You're not entitled to someone's money and people certainly aren't required to pay for something if they think they can just make it themselves. You're complaining about a bed of your own making, where you want to act like it requires a lot of effort while people replicate it effortlessly.
It's not just their refusal to pay for something that's low-effort. It's the fact that they are criticizing the creator for charging anyone at all.
You're not entitled to dictate what someone else charges for their product, no matter how easy it is to make.
This is a silly debate you're both having. Money is not real, and a price is whatever a buyer is willing to pay. Emotions are best spent elsewhere.
