I'm here because I didn't realize until you pointed it out it said anything about AI (even though I read the description and didn't see it say AI until you pointed it out), also it's been showing up on my timeline, so I thought I would take a shot about why AI art is bad.

Now for the counterarguments:

Technically, fanart boosts popularity of a show, if companies didn't like it, they would've taken it down almost immediately.

Photography in itself is a form of genuine art. Also, that argument only "works" if an artist was at that location and drew it. Most artists take photos in order to draw what they see in nature. I put works in quotes because the argument really doesn't work, and in fact, professional photography does take skill.

In this sub itself, there have been countless posts copying the Pixar art style, which in your definition is considered "falsely and fraudulently passed as the work of said artist", so your point?

Hey, I don't have money either, but at least I have moral respect for artists who do this for a living, and would support them in any way I could.

Edit: Regardless, after this note I am blocking this community. Hoorah for you I guess, I still don't agree with your decisions.
