This topic is the number one issue members of SFWA are discussing right now. They stood up an AI forum on their discord server late yesterday. I posted once this morning, and an hour later there were already 151 additional replies. People are very concerned about this trend, and no one has a good answer. For every “we could try this” someone comes up, there’s a bunch of reasons why it may not work.
I had to mute that thread, frankly. I’ll never keep up with the volume there, I have too much work to do to think about it right now. AI art is a real problem that’s only going to get worse and potentially push out human artists.
