So, there's a huge argument going on over at DeviantART at the moment; apparently, "traditional" artists want AI banned from the internet until the end of time.
Speaking for myself, I completely disagree. The technology can now be used to improve artwork. Compare the two pics posted below - tradition media enhanced by Artificial Intelligence. It's pretty obvious which one looks better.
Sooner or later, we'll be able to produce an entire manga in less than a day, using just simple line drawings and an AI program.

Even the unimproved drawings look better for their own reasons and interpretations. Whichever qualifies as the better looking art is completely subjective to all who take the time compare them, so while it may be unfair to 100% ostracize AI generated art tools, it may also be unfair to suggest that AI always improves the quality of all former artwork. No matter how many times one can try to redesign an artwork with AI, some people will still prefer the emotions and perplexities captured within the original drawing.
