>But we have never had quite the jump that takes decades and lifetimes of effort and discipline into a few hours.
True, however people will argue that it happened with the invention of cameras. The rich people who usually hires artists to paint their portraits are now hiring cameramen to take their picture.
>"Art will always exist for the artist, and there will always be people still draw"
>But the discipline will suffer.
>"Why try anymore?"
Oh... this! Soooo this!
This is super true and is something most people don't understand. Hence why I said in >>49277238 that no matter what, the people who already draws, no matter where their skill level is, should never stop to draw and should never depend on AI too much.
There are many people who are easily discouraged, on many different levels, artists included.
When they sketched something and their own parents said "It's ugly as fuck, why are you drawing? It's a useless skill, your time is better spent elsewhere!". Or when they spent hours drawing something, uploaded it to the internet, and all they saw is "Wow this is shit lol". Those things can drive someone to stop drawing.
I've seen artists spent months preparing for a con only to sell almost nothing because the booths next to them sold better arts, he never bothered to try again the following year.
When people use the AI to fling their generations in front of artists and spite on them "My shit is better than your shit".
When people screenshoted someone giving an art tutorial, feed it into controlnet, generate it, and quote tweeted the artist "Here, I finished your art before you".
When people use an artist LoRA to generate something similar to said artist's arts and sell those gens to Fanbox, AND have the audacity to mention and show what you've done to said directly to said artist.
Those things can be discouraging to artists.

>the advent of digital art and how it would make traditional art irrelevant
There are debates but I would be lying if I say I don't want to learn how to be good at traditional coloring. When I saw fellow artist who knows how to Copic pulled their drawing tools and opened commissions on the spot during cons, that made me went "Shit! I wish I can do that".

>partially due to fundamentals already being undercut for proper mastery of a craft
Already happens a lot. Some artists that are super good at digital painting but refused to be invited for a live demo because they lack the fundamentals and heavily relied on premade assets and or photobashings and is afraid to get the "Oh, so you didn't make those on your own" type of response.
>Since artstyles are subject to model training, only celebrities might be AI art proof
In the creative industry, this includes well established Intellectual Properties. Is also the reason why the top dog artists are probably won't be affected that much (at least or now) since the industry still prefers to hire them because they know it's them.
