This is really not true at all. Me and others not having the time to learn to draw (and compose and direct and act and and and...) doesn't mean we disrespect those who do. We just want to make something to enjoy for ourselves. And yes, those who don't have the time, also (typically) don't have the money. Again, it's a classist argument to claim that everyone has either the time to learn, or the money to commission.
Likewise, it's infuriating to see privileged takes of "oh just spend a few hours here and there". Motherfucker, there's people who do not have a few hours here and there. There's people who work 2 jobs, who raise children alone, who are primary caregivers for others. They're not taking anything from artists by generating an image they like in the 1 minute they have available.
I am of the opinion of, let people enjoy things that bring them joy. I have no issue with GenAI if it's for strictly non-commercial personal use, especially when it's using open-weight local models who've already been trained. I do think that GenAI work should not be able to be monetized at all, but I don't make the rules. But people moralizing against random enthusiasts because "just learn to draw bruv" is never going to convince anyone or achieve anything. However convincing people to not support massive corpos will.
