This person is being wilfully ignorant in order to slam "e-beggars". There's plenty of pros who have lost work to AI, who have had their work specifically fed to datasets to use their style or harass them, but then outside of that it's causing tangible troubles in other creative fields like graphic design, voice acting, writing, etc.

i have several friends who have done work for wotc illustrating magic cards. their names came up on the leaked list of artists used to train the AI. honestly, the friend i’m closest to doesn’t even want to discuss AI for very long because it makes him genuinely anxious about the future of his own employment. many are actively trying to get out of fantasy illustration and into fields where they believe it will be harder for them to be displaced by AI (there are other reasons for this, but this is still a reason)

so, yes, it does affect artists of all levels, as well as the aforementioned environmental impact

tbf fantasy illustration in particular has basically never been a good job, unfortunately

even before this AI kerfluffle wotc was paying bargain-basement prices for genuinely incredible work, and they were considered one of the better employers for that stuff

the holy grail for a fantasy illustrator is being a long-term house designer for a major studio (of any kind), but those jobs are unicorns compared to the number of skilled illustrators looking for work
