I agree about marking them. However, AI doesn't just by itself "generate art." It still requires a human to work with it to get the output one wants. Francien Kreig, featured in our article, is making and selling AI art (and continuing to also make traditional oil paintings). Where there is AI art there is an artist behind it. Because in that case, it's not true that "no artist is employed to make the image." SHE is making the image and SHE is getting paid when she sells them, which she is doing. Is she doing something wrong by taking advantage of a new tool to provide herself with an additional income source?
I haven't yet seen an AI art undercut a fine artist, but would love to see real world examples of that if that is true. I can't imagine someone purchasing a 1024x1024 pixel image instead of a real watercolor or oil painting but I don't know for sure it hasn't happened.
