No, but we do recognize scabbing, plus lets not forget the effects AI has had on people’s mental health. I would also argue there is a moral and ethical issue with taking other people’s work without crediting that goes beyond just copyright. Particularly so when trying to profit off of it. Lastly, to build off of my scabbing point. If we look at prior historical cases that are comparable, like the automation that sparked the Luddite movement, I think that its easy to see how anti-AI is pro-worker. AI (like industrialization) costs workers jobs, and while we live in a society that requires you to work to live, that is bad. It is not to say industrialization (or AI in this case) is inherently bad. Just simply that until society no longer works this way, it is harmful to workers. And in case it needs clarification, artists are workers.
