The article discusses the ongoing debate between tech evangelists and artists regarding generative AI's role in creativity. While proponents claim AI empowers art creation for everyone, many artists perceive it as a threat to their livelihoods and creative processes. The article stresses that generative AI fundamentally relies on original artistic content to improve and remain relevant, suggesting a symbiotic relationship where both artists and AI systems need each other to evolve. The upcoming lawsuit against Midjourney by Disney and Universal highlights the growing tension between these two realms.
