As an artist who has done quite a bit illustration work, I am almost certain this will end illustration as a viable career. The technology will only get better and the legal uncertainties will be clarified, and I have little doubt that they will be clarified in favour of big companies not having to pay artists. I m glad that I'm currently making my money as an art teacher rather than as an illustrator, though I have no doubt that as the technology becomes more widespread, it will dampen the enthusiasm of people to learn art too.
That last part might be true, though I'm not sure people learn art late enough in life for it to matter?

I have two products on DMSGUILD that use AI art that I generated before I knew better....I make less than 1000 a year gross there, most years under 500 dollars. No art, less sales. I don't know how I could possibly pay artists......I have considered removing the AI art from those products, though, now that I know better....

This program is fun and the end results can be stunning, but even the best ones have issues if you look closely enough.

It’s also a bit of a gamble. You can’t ever get exactly what you want. You can only type some words and then hope for the best.

The only way I can see this truly replacing people is if it truly becomes AI and you can actually talk to it and have a back-and-forth to refine your idea and have it smooth out any wonky bits (like hands and faces and bows and castles with too many minarets).

I remember one of the first of these things, and it was really just a hallucination take on what you described. Neat, but not all that alarming.

This stuff, in like a year or 2 later? Honestly I can probably go get my D&D books, and find art that I personally feel is inferior (for my unrefined, untrained, non-artist tastes!) to what can be generated right now, with some prompts, in this thread.

Add a year? Add a function let me iterate on a specific imagine? To focus on a specific section?

Yeah. Cool for me personally so I dont have to spend 40K 100K or 200K on commissioned art? Bad for the artist looking to get paid.
 


The spider dragon oficially appeared in that sourcebook of Dragonlance about the wild elves. With a right redesign it could return, and even to sell toys and merchandising. Children love toys of weird monsters but not too creepy.

I don't think that will last. Once there is a "verifiably ethically trained" art generation platform, big companies will be happy to use it.

Amazon is by far the worst offender, especially for AI written material.
100%. I know plenty of people using AI to writ policies and other things in industry right now. It's only going to get worse, and we all know big companies care about money above all else (outside a very tiny minority).

I am not a luddite, and I am not saying that we should ban the technology. But it will absolutely replace humans. But of course sooner or later this will apply to most people. Unless your job is one where face to face interaction with people is seen as highly valuable, you'll be replaced by an AI. Eventually we have to figure out what to do when humans are no longer needed.
