"AI art" is a tool of fascism. But what does that mean?
Anyone who does creative work, artists, writers, musicians, they all develop the parts of their personality that's responsible for empathy and understanding people outside of themselves. You learn how to care about others. Art is kryptonite to fascist movements because artists by nature tend to be antifascist and use their mediums to further their message.
Free expression is hard to crack down on in the early stages, and pro-fascist artists are few and far between. Sure you'll have a few but they're eternally conscious of the fact that their message is unpopular on a human level. And so, to create propaganda and fascist content at scale, they turn to machine generated algorhytms that won't question the message and dutifully churn out the stuff that their lever pullers don't have the talent to make for themselves.

This is why you see zero effort memes and political cartoons, generated by "AI" tools by fascist propaganda peddlers, and they do so in the style of cartoonists who would never in their right mind have drawn them. For those who think these are authentic it can confuse the legacy of well known artists, or give the illusion of at the very least some sort of human sentiment when in reality it does not have humans putting forth the effort to create it. If you care about something, you put the time and effort into its creation.
So! When you see people using these tools even casually, offloading their own human cognition and potential for talent to a machine that's meant to spit out the mathematical average of all the stolen works its ingested to date, you mock and tear them down early and often.
"AI art" is the tool of the enemy. We don't need it, we don't use it.

> [DKR reference]Just remember that DKR Batman is a hypocrite and an adrenaline junkie. He's not "too big". He used guns on the Batmobile to mow down Mutants. He used a gun on Two-Face's minions, and was glad at the deaths he caused.
So it's the weapon of the enemy - but we'll use it whenever we want to believe that our backs are against the wall?

@egoldblatt I think we can be better and smarter than that particular interpetation of Batman
