Hot take: The whole cancel culture thing around that artist who used AI art in their music video was way overblown

I'm talking about that indie musician who got roasted last February for using Midjourney backgrounds in her low budget video. Her name was Sarah something, and she had like 300 bucks total to make the thing. People acted like she personally killed traditional animation, but she literally could not afford a real artist. Has anyone else seen smaller creators get destroyed for stuff big names do all the time?

300 bucks and a one-person crew gets you a cardboard sign and a prayer in this economy, but big studios dropping AI slop on ten million dollar budgets get a shrug.

Right, the "killed traditional animation" thing really got to me. She had a three hundred dollar budget and people acted like she burned down a studio. It's rough watching small creators get piled on for using whatever tools they can scrape together just to get their work out there.
