What's the argument against it ethically?

There's two main arguments against it-
1) The AI is trained by looking at tons of existing art, meaning that anything it comes up with is, to some extent, derived from copyrighted work by existing artists who aren't getting credited/paid.
2) As in any other field where machines are replacing humans, it's reducing the amount of paid work available for human artists.

Obviously there are arguments about how true/big of an issue both of those points are, but they seem to be the main objections people have.

Well, there is a third one, but it's relatively minor-
3) Artists who put actual effort into their work hate it when people just feed an AI a prompt, post the result, and call themselves artists.
