It's a real fucking shame to just watch artists lie down and die. Not even an extreme angle of "People could be using this to generate art of underage kids!". Nope, nothing, at least I see nothing about it. We live in that age where someone could have millions of followers and you're five years too late to hearing about them.

And the technology is only going to get better. You think youtubers stealing your art and uploading or using it without your permission is bad, it's going to get a lot worse. A fucking bored ape cartoon was an idea, wait until we get the first ai generated movie.

I think it's a combination of things. NFT's, political movements, companies, blue checkmarks, other artists, normies. All of these things have done their damned best to steal the soul of art. "Is that a black woman? It's too political. Is that a nipple I see? You degenerate, think of the children. Oh, you did this in clip studio on your laptop? All you had to do was click a button, a real artist pays out the ass for paints and canvas supplies and does it in one go. What's that, you want to be compensated for your time? My 5 year old cousin does finger paints in his art class for free, flip those burgers like a good wagee." Artists who love making art just can't win.

We're going to be hitting a very weird age very soon and I can't be sure on what it will bring. If I took an educated guess, we'll probably undergo an "artistic renaissance". My money's on coom art being the sole surviving form of genuine art. AI generated art doesn't make coom art, but that's not going to last long, you know some autist from India is going to create that shit. But the sole difference when it comes to that shit, is soul. Porn is both specialized and very niche to your tastes. It has very catered to tastes.
A machine can make you mashed potatoes and gravy, but it's not the same mom makes it.
