You are in denial if you believe AI image generation is just a tool. A five year old could use it and come up with professional quality images. AI is a replacement.

And art was considered an unstable career path before AI as well. Theres very little barrier to entry and a lot of hobbyists are as good as professionals. It's not like Dalle flipped its perception or anything. There is absolutely no way it'll be replaced last. I don't think it's been seen as a viable career path for everyone since the 1800s.

'My 5 year old could have painted that'.

Yeah but they didn't.

Art is about emotion. Text prompted AI generated images are the opposite of that.

A 5 year old could type in 'Beautiful oil painting style, girl with a pearl earring, high resolution.' , but who gives a shit?

What emotion and intention does that convey? Nobody looks at an AI image and feels the artist's joy or pain. It's completely superficial.
