It's a good read, but I'm not sure if it's a good take. This seems very emotionally-driven and not really logical. Someone could make low quality Ghibli style images by hand in large quantities. Is that just as bad?

Evidently they didn't do it, though, so AI does fundamentally change the issue. AI is both cheaper and faster than human content creators once your model is trained (the energy use might be an externalized cost, though) and so far it is also a lot harder to sue.
