Studio Ghibli co-founder Hayao Miyazaki .... was shown a piece of AI-generated animation....He watched it, stony-faced, then quietly said he found it to be “an insult to life itself”. 

When we use GenAI platforms unthinkingly in the context of the arts, we shift focus to the result, rather than the process of creation. And something vital gets lost. ...While (GenAI is) exciting, it strips away the human aspects of creation – the struggles, learning and self-reflection. The value of art lies in the process, not just the result.

The ingestion of books by generative AI means the authors’ writing styles, honed through years of practice and experimentation, can potentially be replicated by GenAI users via casual prompts....whose styles have been easily replicated without permission. 

those whose livelihoods have been severely affected because companies can now choose to use AI instead of turning to human artists to create images or graphics
