I feel like it would ultimately be up to consumers to vote with their dollar. If no one watched an animated movie because the company used an ai instead of human artists the company would stop real quick. I'm curious, how do you feel self check out registers? Or CAD machines? Both are examples of machines reducing or replacing humans.

Ok THAT is different then. Everything I've heard of so far was that it would generate art based off of thousands of images, not knocking off any one artist or marketing it as in any one artists style. But I also don't think that what makes an artists work valuable is its uniqueness. We should support artists, crafters and makers because of the human element, the skill and time it took. If people are buying a particular artists lookalikes they don't really value that artist.

I want to know who this is actually hurting. Is having cheap ai art causing people not to buy from human artists? I understand that the programs gather data from other images but isn't that pretty much how humans learn what things look like? The ai isn't preventing artists from existing and offering their services, it is up to people to put value in human effort and skill.
