Thoughts on preemptively banning Gen-AI? (ttrpg.network)

I've been reading about the user revolt on the Twin Peaks subreddit calling for a ban on AI art. As best I can tell we don't really have people posting AI stuff here yet, but I'm wondering if it would be a good idea to ban it before it becomes a problem. I'm soliciting feedback from y'all on this, please let me know what you prefer.

Your performative hatred is boring. People did the same chest-beating ingroup behaviors, whining about CGI. Oh so artists don't need anatomy and composition? It just does tweening for you? This sucks, that's cheating, you only used a computer. It's not real art.

Obviously CGI is a lot better now, versus when people where declaring they'd die mad about Tin Toy. But that's the point: this tech has existed for like three years. What it does for free will be taken for granted. Nobody's impressed that Pixar movies are animated on-ones. Nobody will be impressed when movies animated without actors still look and sound real.

The point is the story, the visuals, the edit - the experience of watching something humans put together, using whatever tools exist. Your reasons to complain will dissolve. If the complaints continue anyway, the words never mattered.
