B) Lemmy also has active !traditional_art@lemmy.world communities, it just has less activity in general. We can have an infinite amount of communities on this platform, for both topics. It’s not a zero-sum game
Why do you think the existence of the AI image community is hurting the other art communities on Lemmy? I’m subscribed to and enjoy content from both.
I never said there aren’t any reasons it could hurt the community. I simply asked what those reasons might be, and you have given me an answer to my question.
My counterpoint would be that it’s also possible that the increased activity from the AI art community energizes and grows Lemmy as a whole, and a percentage of those users are also interested in other art.
I also think that your beef is with AI art as a concept, not with the Lemmy community in particular. I feel terrible for artists that are losing their livelihood due to AI, but if AI is going to affect my life going forward, I would like to understand how it works and how to deal with it. Observing that Lemmy community has helped to clarify the capabilities and limitations of AI for me personally, along with providing entertainment.
A) just block the community

TLDR verifiable pros > hypothetical cons
AI “art” is for Borgs
