[QUOTE="Storyteller Hero, post: 9076818, member: 6813635"] One of the observed problems in practice, in the example of what happened on Game Dev Market, is that AI-generated images can be mass-produced at a rate and scale that can flood a site so badly, that people have a hard time finding non-AI stuff unless they bookmarked art from before AI generators became available on the market. It goes beyond competition and enters the realm of spam imo, with legitimate artists having their business hurt by AI users, even if just by making it frustrating for potential customers to sift through all the spam to find legitimate art. AI generators can also potentially reproduce images and logos without filtering them out for copyright and trademark issues.
