AI made artists worthless
Now that AI has evolved to a point where you can type whatever you want in a small text box and get decent results, can you imagine what it'd be like in 5 or 10 years from now? Everyone is already trying out the multiple generators we have available to the public and having a lot of fun with them, getting real results and sharing them at no cost even though they're usually rough results for now, in the future there would be no need for any new artists at all, from illustrators to musicians to painters to writers, they would all be replaced and everything could be handled better and exactly to your tastes by the AI, with minimal effort on your part and the model evolving and getting better every single time, even movies are being produced and tweaked with the power of machine learning, imagine how far it can go when it learns to properly write its own fictional universe and characters, it's bound to be the best fantasy series because it would have no human error problems like forgetting parts of lore or purposely retconning, this is a win for everyone so people could focus on more important subjects like STEM and medicine instead.
Like it happened when TV was introduced there were people saying there's always gonna be a spot for radio but they were just delaying the inevitable truth of technology going forward, with or without them, the same thing will happen to old-style artists and people who think art made by a real person is somehow better than something made by AI artists (which is ridiculous) are just refusing to see the world around them change. Because we're in the early stages of the replacement there are people who will say AI-produced art has no real merit by using arguments such as it having no "heart" and "passion" but Artificial Intelligence will get better and better at every occasion it's almost unfair to compare it to raw human "talent" (which is subjective in a topic like art). They have no chance.
I think we've passed a point where we can safely say AI killed the artist, and I'm glad to see where this goes.
Will you keep supporting a dying industry like art or will you move forward with AI?

Can you even call yourself an artist if artificial intelligence does your art for you?

No, because they think throwing a McDonalds burger at the ceiling is worth 50 million dollars.
Or the man who sold an "Invisible Sculpture".

or the person who duct taped a banana to a wall...

while they also throw soup and oil over Mona Lisa and other great art.

Why not? Wouldn't you call photography art?

Not necessarily, but it has made it more available.

This is a very complex issue with many complex answers. Like all industry/market disputers, there will be very strong opposition by the people who are most affected by these new changes.

Plenty of people still listen to the radio and watch the television. Big Media still exists despite piracy making paying for subscription media services relatively obsolete (especially in these
trying economic times).

It's just a tool.

Should we go back to painting with our fingers?
AI art is the future.
It didn't. You're just mad at artists for whatever arbitrary reason.
They took er jerbs.

Modern and contemporary... "artists" let's say... like Marina Abramovich, Fontana, Mondrian, Duchamp, Andy Wharol (and others) and their economists speculators friends made art garbage and artists worthless, and now AI is giving those people what they deserve.
