As an artist, I think it is a net negative for us. Disregarding the copyright issue, I think it’s also consolidating power into large corporations, going to kill learning fundamental skills (rip next generation of artists), and turn the profession into a low skill minimum wage job. Artists that spent years learning and perfecting their skills will be worth nothing and I think it’s a pretty depressing future for us. Anways thoughts?
I see a lot of potential for AI in producing propaganda. You can quickly generate eye catching imagery, and even text with stuff like ChatGPT, then do a pass over it to clean things up.
