It definitely did, or will within the year. The quality I could get with Dalle is insane compared to paying an artist. And it's instant.

The only way art continues is the niche category of people that care that it was human created. For all practical purposes machines now own this medium.

I'm not sure how you can say that. It's already coming in first place in art competitions.

Competition is not destruction. Dalle is a tool that requires weilding. CNC machines did not destroy sculpting or woodworking, they created and added another category.

Also, it doesn't matter. Art is expression. Art is contextual. You saying the exact same thing as me is a different expression because you said it. It might make it harder to commercialize Art, but technology has always done this.

This guy has manufactured a world where art is now dead, he's not living in reality.

Yeah, well the horse manure removal industry took a major hit when cars took over, then cabs took a major hit when Uber moved in. Markets change, entire professions go in and out of existence, and for people that REALLY want to do something where tech has built a better mousetrap, they can do that too, their customer base just shifts from necessity buyers to buyers who purchase hand made things because it's important to them.

Commercial illustration has had the corners nibbled away from it for over a century and never been eliminated. Standardized fonts, Commercial typesetting, lots of things have morphed, reduced and reinvented the creative fields in Commercial, but it's never been eliminated.

no, thats not true at all. try re-reading, maybe out loud to yourself, if that will help clear things up. Art is not dead, we should care and protect it. Monetization of art is a completely different story. it sounds like YOU are actually saying art isn't important unless its monetized.
