We don’t commonly call painters “brush artists” or or voice actors “microphone artists” or Substack writers “keyboard artists” (although keyboard *warriors* can certainly fit the bill, at times).
Still, I appreciate the depth of your analysis here. Nice to see someone taking the issue seriously 👍

Thanks for reading, I appreciate it! Re: terminology…there are some artists who explicitly describe themselves as "machine learning artists" (and maybe "new media artists" is also similar?) but I agree that "AI artists" is an awkward term…especially because AI could be applied to a lot of different mediums.
Some artists do identify themselves as "textile artists" though! This is probably the most minor point in all the debates about AI art, but I'm so curious how our terminology around it will evolve
“ai artists” is a contradiction in terms imo.

Maybe "AI ripoff artists" is more accurate.
