I'm literally quoting someone in the same thread. >>6345744
>AI image generators will devalue art the same as photography devalued realist illustrators.
Which is a fact, there were entire trades dedicated to just doing said illustrations. They aren't gone but their importance isn't the same because there isn't the demand.
Just like the end of importance with swiss watches, Horse and Buggy and countless other jobs and industries Art is not immune.
I think for your mental health (and lets be honest here most artists on /ic/ are schizo) that you accept the reality of what is going on and not put your head in the sand thinking everything is going to be okay or use coping mechanisms like "AI art will never do x, or AI has no soul, bad hands etc etc.
