Because it's not created, but a composite of many images scraped from the internet that were created by humans.

AI art is at worst pure plagiarism and at best a lie.

There is no shortage at all of too cheap decent human artists.


Also the Luddites have a bad press. They didn't object to machines, but worse pay and conditions while the mill owners made 100x to 1000x profit compared to paying workers at home on their own loom.

And the anti-AI sentiment is also not about anti-machine (or computers) but exploitation of human created content with no payment at all by massive corporations. There is also a massive environmental cost with such "advanced" AI as used in LLM and image generation. A so-called "AI plug-in" filter in a digital image editing / drawing package isn't the issue.
