The only major issue I personally see with it are the fakes/deepfakes. The quality is still pretty subpar right now yes but that's something that will get better over time, just like computer graphics have over the last few decades. Being against AI art just because it's easy seems like a rather reactionary take to me, Marxists shouldn't be in favor of intentionally gatekeeping things behind innate ability or years of expensive study.
As for the deal with artists, ideally there should be a fine distinction between personal and commercial use that empowers indie artists while holding large corporations accountable for theft.
Respectfully, I don't think telling people that want to generate images of Darth Vader riding a Sloth that they can't because it doesn't qualify as true art would be the path forward. AI art will lead to decline a traditional art talent, yes, but I think the massive increase in accessibility and convenience to the masses still easily make it a net positive overall. AI art existing doesn't totally prevent people from still being to able create art traditionally, while an AI art ban would for the people who enjoy using AI art.
Ehh I'm not really sure I'm following the gambling comparison. Common sense for most people is that gambling addictions are bad because it actively drains massive amounts of money out of people's bank accounts, not because slot machines waste people's time. Addictions are just problem amplifiers rather then problems in of themselves.
