>look at the entertainment industry
A gaudy, overblown, hollowed-out shadow of what it used to be? The entertainment industry fraught with corruption, money laundering, abuse, and whose only genuine fans left are the same soi-filled bugmen who are championing the cool and epic new gizmo of AI art while masturbating to their funko pops? You sure you want that to be your point?
Because that mulit-billion dollar industry hasn't created anything outstanding in years, only marvel fanboys and consumer normies view anything out of the entertainment industry with anything other than harsh disdain. BECAUSE everything they make is the equivalent of sameface, disposable, forgettable trash that is completely indistinguishable from everything else they make. Meanwhile, individualistic, intriguing, passionate films made by artists uninformed by committees are still treasured and revisited constantly, and held up as the standard by which modern films are judged (a standard almost no modern films have overtaken). Not because of strictly nostalgia, but because they were of an individualistic quality you can't synthesize inorganically or by committee.
Art is no different, AI will flood the already over-saturated commission market with low-quality same-face garbage that will never be valued anywhere near what individuals with unique, organic, consistent, and engaging styles are capable of producing. Ask yourself, which films do people value more and tend to be included in accolade collections; the latest written-by-committee statistically profitable Marvel dumpster fire? Or a new film written and directed by Quentin Tarantino or Wes Anderson?
I don't know what point you're trying to make anymore, but if you're not a sameface pornographer with no style of your own there's genuinely nothing to worry about. In fact, you'll do better with the advent of AI, because your quality will help you stand out from the trash.

This is the best piece of advice for artists, and anyone upset or otherwise by AI art. The most important thing you can do for your art and your longevity in art it to develop a style that's unique to you. All of these AI art pieces are produced either copying the styles of the past (Van Gogh, Picasso, Frida Kahlo, etc.), or with a randomized and unpredictable style with no dependable consistency. The only way to have some level of stylistic certainty is to ape some artist the algorithm will recognize, and even then, it'll have to make something based on their already existing work. You're not looking at a new Van Gogh, you're looking at Starry Night blended into some other shape for the 11th time.

Discover and develop your style that leaves you feeling satisfied and helps you to stand out from the millions of other artists, living and dead, that want what you want. It's worked wonders for me, and it's what I'd advise even without this AI business starting up. This is a picture from Sidney Sime. His style is what made his art take flight. Nobody draws precisely like him, nobody else ever will, and even if someone should they'll be seen as a copier and follower who wouldn't exist without the original, always secondary, never first in prominence.
