I wouldn't say I'm okay with it, but my concerns aren't really RPG-related - society has some big questions to sort out regarding the consequences of AI and other automation replacing human labour in a great many fields.
Labor and capital are interchangeable, up to a point. As technical progress goes forward, they are more and more interchangeable. At some point, they will be totally interchangeable and most jobs will be replaced par AI (perhaps in millenia in the future, perhaps in 2024) and machines. The problem most are worried about isn't related to AI art, it is related to societies that use wages as their main mean to reduce inequalities will either become extremely inegalitarian or the other means of reducing inequalities will be reinforced to compensate. There is a tangible risk, as cost of producing, in this case, works of art, decrease, of putting artists into wage-outdoor hiking (especially since they are not doing well even right now). But it's not really related to artists and AI, it is a complaint toward society models that requires one to do something that they can sell with their time to not starve, and, perhaps, their inability to anticipate the quickness of the technical changes (in the case where it happens closer to 2024 than millenias away).
