imho the whole GenAI and artists and luddites thing is way overblown and mis-characterized. The outputs simply aren't up to snuff and people hates it. The negative emotional outrage comes first, then the logical explanation ex post facto, everyone can see that.
By the way, I have one of numerous back-burner ideas about the GenAI rage problem - why isn't anyone trying to "close the loop", like by attaching a gaze tracking and mood detecting device to a human(like a camera pointed at such tool's developer) and chaos monkeying the image with noise, maybe with a bit of help from generative algorithms, until the human is satisfied? Then operation log of that monkey tool can be put into GAN side of diffusion or made into a new tag for embedding or something.
I think that saves everyone's time a lot. There shouldn't be ethical concerns to it, at least to same degree that running A/B tests on unsuspecting bunch is considered totally ethical and morally acceptable.
