I read about 90% of what you wrote and my eyes gave out. But, AI has been something I have looked into recently, both, other artists thoughts about it and the process itself. I still feel I don't know enough to make a solid opinion myself, so have set a goal of trying it myself when I have the open time to do so.

I do feel though it is a dual situation, I have a few friends who use it. One does have polished images, the other I feel lacks real aesthetics, and neither of their works appeal to me greatly. It could just be artistic differences. Until I try it myself I can't be sure. I do wince when I see their images, signed, in art forums without mention of AI.
I also have a friend who works in the development of AI, and his comments to me is that it can spit out images that it has access to, but it can not really create.
Until I actually get to the point of using it, I really don't know. But, as you have mentioned using it for illustrations, I do think it could impact that industry most.

Exactly. The artists who created the original imagery don't get any royalties (please see my other comment).
The problem is, this thing is unstoppable, because people want to have it the easy way so badly.
Oh, yes, that aspect of it I completely agree with you. It is something of a sophisticated means of plagiarism or copyright infringement. But it is, as you say, unstoppable. It is there and we need to find ways, and legislation to deal with it.
