Why do they have to shovel AI in this? Like its a very good idea, the whole training thing which is great, but shoving in AI because of "rapid changes in digital content production" is just pretty wierd, like why?

Because it's popular and people use it because it's a useful tool.

It's not a tool, it's a replacement. The thing you're using ai to do is avoid hiring people and paying people. Every time someone convinces themselves they're "an expert using the modern up to date tools to stay competitive as an assist, while still incorporating their own expertise into the..." (yada yada, why do they all talk like that)... Again I will point out time and time again that they CANNOT do the thing they're "using ai to assist with".
Why are so many people who cannot draw backgrounds, have never drawn a background, and who only incorporate bgs into their art now that ai is a thing so desperate to convince you that drawing backgrounds is mindless tedium which they've "earnt" the right to replace because they can draw figures.

Tools frequently replace other tasks. If you're in a social media space dominated by artists, you may not fully understand that the idea you have to "earn" the right to create content (or have a tool create it for you) is not really a thing for most people. You either make a thing that people want to consume, or you don't.

That's why its messed up when AI steals all the appealing stuff you worked hard to create so it can get similar engagement to your hard work with none of the effort. Especially because now if an artist gets popular you can load their work in and sa "like this but file off the serial numbers, I want 50" and immediately drown artists out using their own stolen labor.
All that aside AI is proven to worsen familiarity with technical knowledge if you use it when you aren't already and expert in a field, so training new artist with or to use an AI is probably one of the worst uses imaginable.

The end goal is replacement, not a tool.
Once you have children growing up with content generated just for them and that's just how they view normal life, there will be no need for companies to pretend to care about artists anymore. It's all about the money.
So either you full stop reject it and continue being a publisher of actual artists, or you pretend to be integrating AI as a tool to make things easier for artists but in reality you're just biding time to replace them. That's it, that's the end goal.
If you're using AI at all, you might as well be replaced by it.
