AI's early bet on creative tools poisoned trust with creators, thread argues

A discussion on why AI image generation soured trust with creators: early AI companies targeted the creative space for attention, which gave people fun first contact with AI but turned artists against AI products.
The thread frames it as fundamentally a trust issue — creatives first saw a core human trait "replicated" and assumed AI companies wanted to replace them, then ordinary users grew distrustful of each other as AI images became realistic, ultimately blaming AI companies for releasing something dangerous.
