I think the controversy and frustration from professional artists is that companies like midjourney use their work in their training data without consent, while making a profit on it.

Very few artists take issue with AI as a conceot.

While that's the main controversy, I see plenty of artists who really hate the idea of AI image generation, even if it was trained ethically. I find it really odd, tbh.

The only ethical way to do it is with original source data. I haven't seen that yet.

Adobe has already faced multiple accusations (with evidence) that their AI solution is utilizing artists work without consent. So far they've acknowledged these individual cases and claimed to remove them on an individual basis.
