I have a friend that worked in a few AAA projects in the past as a concept artist and right now he's in an absolute depersonalization-inducing stage of despair because he keeps seeing AI-fabricated landscapes trending on artstation. After an extensive talk we had about it we came to the conclusion that entertainment is being streamlined as much as possible to the consumer thanks to these AIs. You don't need to learn or understand a task to have it autocompleted for you. You don't need to understand composition, fundamentals Iightning or basic geometry to have some futuristic highres city environment handed to you on a silver plate as long as you know basic grammar to type in "cuberpunk scenery".
But it goes deeper than this. As I said these AIs are only being given away as nuclear toys because these are some side avenues that they can profit from currently, however when you dig in this hole a lot of these autocompletion AIs are focusing their bleeding edge applications to areas of neurotechnology, like picrel, where AI could activate certain areas of the monkey's brain at will through drawing imagery specificallly for each neuron. It can also work with words but the monkey doesn't know how to read. It's worth noting that millions in stocks from OpenAI are owned by the same companies developing neurotechnology such as Synchron and Neuralink.
