If it isn't equal, why would you need to move to a website where it is excluded? It should be no different than the MS Paint slop that gets posted.
Your art is independent of the quality and worth of other art, which is why you should not advocate for a site for poor art, a site for amateur art, a site for intermediate art, and a site for master artists. You want them together not only for ease of access, but to show the quality of your work, gain recognition for your talent, and help others achieve the same.
Your behavior shows that at some level, you do recognize AI art as equal to your own art, even if it isn't true, and view it not as MP Paint slop that should be filtered, but as real competition, even if you are unwilling to admit it. This is to the point that you will support the same basic premise of those that created the conditions to form this site from the tyranny that was ready to be unleashed. You only diverge from this mindset in political angle. Derpibooru wanted a site that removed elements that did not fit a cultural-Marxist worldview and would begin by removing new images featuring Aryanne and working against BLM, no doubt to expand as time went on to other targets. You want a site that removes AI art as it does not fit your worldview and will begin by removing all images that are AI. At least from your stance there is less chance for a snowball effect, but the result is similar: needless division that is solved by filtering.
Aryanne didn't affect the artwork of any user. AI does not affect your artwork. Your values are not impacted by the existence of things you don't like on the site. Now, spam is another matter. So far, images have been manageable, but I have no idea what is going to happen if they open floodgates with a new site, which is the greater concern. What sort of rate of import will there be if we import that? Will there be upload limits there as well? Will there be no incentive to upload AI art that looks decent with multiple generations and some photoshop? These concerns would be a better argument to make for anti-AI art instead of it being a few words generating an image. Again, we have artwork that consists of a couple of lines or a couple of copy/pasted images. Effort is irrelevant by precedent. Spam is relevant.

You aren't stupid. Just elitist. There is a difference. Try making some arguments instead of just insisting on superiority, because it is going to end up backfiring. After all, you made that clear. You will return to derpibooru, a place that you admitted would love to restrict art made by humans if it would only take away something you don't like in return. This is an elitist mindset where people can get fucked as long as you, either as an individual or as a group, are appeased. Luckily, there is a cure. Just realize that trash will be recognized by trash, things you don't like but aren't trash will be liked by some, and attracting those people that like those things to your art will only be a benefit.
