1. Art is a way of expressing feelings and emotions through skills and figures, taking into account this, I think that AI generated should be considered art since this helps and facilitates artists when generating the basis of their works and then with other tools, they modify them and add details, which does not lose the essence of expression of ideas and feelings. We must also take into account that day by day the world is changing with new updates and new technological interventions, so I think we must take advantage of and update ourselves with these new technologies making proper use of them.
2. I think that the concern of artists is not exaggerated since they have several specific points, among the most important would be the time dedicated to their works, since some artists take days and a lot of effort to elaborate them in detail, and seeing that an artificial intelligence facilitates this process, they could feel that it is unfair and that all their effort was in vain. Another point could be the profitability of their work since artists would fear that their skills are no longer needed and better resort to the help of artificial intelligence which does not benefit them. However, I think that it is only a matter and time to adapt and accept the new tools, as happened with the digital camera that after years it became a important tool in the field of art.
