What's the Ethical Use of AI-Generated Art?

John Scalzi's version of ethical is this: "In all other circumstances, and especially when there'™s a commercial intent or application, or when I would otherwise hire an artist, I will seek out artists and commission art from them." Why would this be the most ethical approach? Do we purchase only hand-crafted furniture, meals created by our personal chef, or books written by hand? Of course not. The role of ethics in addressing the replacement of work by artificial intelligence is to ensure that the wealth and benefits produced by the AI are shared equally across society, so that being out of work for the artist isn't equivalent to being sentenced to poverty.
