You missed my point entirely. Even assuming what you claim is true, and that ai can mimic any style, it won’t be used to do that.

Put plainly, normies don’t care to replicate “lesser” styles. They want realism slop like you see on artstation. Have you not been paying attention? They want highly rendered anime girls. What consumer is going to bother generating picrel for example? No one.

This means that those “lesser” styles won’t be spammed unlike the artstation styles. And this of course means that the perceived value by the public remains high for “lesser” styles while the realism styles value plummets to the ground due to consumer overuse and over-exposure.

Realism is dead. Period. Highly rendered anime is dead. Period. If you don’t believe me, look around and see what people spam with ai. Not cartoons. Not indie art.
