So, your argument about how generative AI is just another art form is laughable.

Other art forms aren't so massively inefficient and environmentally destructive that entire communities have to go without water and power so some lazy moron can type "dracula titties" into a prompt box fifty times until dracula appears with the anatomically correct amount of fingers.

Other art forms aren't massive oligarch-backed plagiarism machines that chew up untold amounts of works by actual living breathing artists with no respect for their copyrights and spit out what I can only describe as Corporate Memphis for sports betting ads and hentai gacha scams.

Other art forms are actually capable of establishing artistic styles and moods and such because the people rendering them possess cognition and object permanence that allows them to synthesize their own experiences and ideas and limitations into something original and not just a soulless knockoff of whatever subject was fed into the slop machine enough to make it statistically weighted higher than all the other stolen art.

For instance, someone intentionally applied mid-century modern design principles and took inspiration from period machinery to make Fallout look like it was set in the 50's. The slop machine makes everything look like Fallout because statistically, Fallout has the most power armor images freely available to steal from Google images and stick in your idiot prompt box.

Oh, and other art forms can't be tricked into making CSA materials of living people. That one's just a lil' bonus for anyone with morals.

But hey, let's not disparage any of the plagiarists wrecking the planet because they're too lazy to learn any of the skills of the people they're actively stealing from, just so Elon can monopolize then charge you a subscription to access your spank bank. That might put you off.
