I'm artist trained, don't work in the field. I still like to do some stuff for myself, but it takes time a lot of times.
Do I want to waste a lot of time for a little pin up of a character I consider cute, or should I just do a quick AI slop, that I can change in seconds and with more details?
I don't have much free time to spend nowadays, so I go with the slop for most of my time and get almost the same satisfaction as if I sketch it myself.
All the people bitching about AI slop and such, aren't even artist themselves. They are just trolls that just want someone to draw stuff for them as they are too lazy to do it themselves, and for free.
