I'm simply defining serious artists as people who are serious about their art, whether they're award winning filmmakers or amateur photographers. Roughly nobody out of all those people wants to use AI.
(If you want to define it as professional artists instead, then I don't even see much of a conflict of interest. Professional programmers tend to be cautiously optimistic about the new tool and are finding uses for it, why wouldn't professional artists? But, they largely do not see it that way.)

This is simply cherry-picking (though of course the parent asked for it, by using the word "all" in their original comment - but that doesn't absolve you of resorting to a "gotcha").
If you consider microdramas as art (who knows what art means to people these days) then the Chinese duanju already has not just full shows using AI but also already have big hits using it.
Yes the people making these are frustrated by how much stress it puts on them (directors managing multiple shows at a time daily must be stressful af) but nobody (neither artists nor audience) are complaining about AI usage. As always they don't hate AI, they hate capitalism.
