The world is already flooded with more "artistic value" than you can ever experience in your life. This market has been over-saturated forever. And it's all free of charge because "building a portfolio" for a chance of getting paid in the future is the go-to strategy. It was only a matter of time for a new predator (AI data collection) to arrive and exploit this situation. A handful of artists trying to react to this shouldn't be alarming. Good for them. Not because more free publishing would hurt them, but because they can invest their time better than into whatever the marginal benefit of posting the 50th free artwork might be.
