Not that it will ever stop artists from creating, exactly, but that it dilutes the space in a negative/exploitative way when a company just says βyour style / work is essentially ours now and we can produce hundreds of images like yours in the time you can produce a sketch.β
Yeah I feel that. Though do think thereβs some of both of those arguments that go hand in hand, in that Ai art pollutes the general pool of art and was also developed on a foundation of stolen material from real career artists. I do think thereβs an argument about art writ-large in there, personally
Sure people will still create, and people will still appreciate the novelty of human touch at weekend fairs and when someone is willing to pay top dollar. But for many, I think it means the death of a career (rather than a hobby/passion project). Just my two cents.
Textiles too, and argument to be made that generations of craftspeople were put out of full time work by automation as well. Many definitely resisted automation because they saw it that way. I think this is the reality facing illustrators, animators, VFX people, etc with AI.
