Setting aside the usual arguments on the anti- and pro-AI art debate and the nature of creativity itself, perhaps the negative reaction that the Redditor encountered is part of a sea change in opinion among many people that think corporate AI platforms are exploitive and extractive in nature because their datasets rely on copyrighted material without the original artists' permission. And that's without getting into AI's negative drag on the environment.

If you think this debate is about which one is "better" you have fundamentally missed the point. Disregarding the AI aspect entirely, art is subjective. "Better" is completely meaningless in that context. Is it more technically proficient? Better composed? Even if answers match, it could be for entirely different reasons between people. And then there are people who will disagree entirely. There is no objective measure. So then, what is the point of art?

It's different for everyone, and it just so happens that a significant portion find AI generated compositions hollow on top of being unethical.
