Honestly I'm so sick and tired of the creative types giving the same shitty takes on AI over and over again
"WhY Is AI MaKiNg aRt iNsTeAd oF RePlAcInG JoBs wE DoN'T WaNt"
Maybe because it's much easier to create a plug in for photoshop than it is to build and program a robot that can identify and unclog your drains?
Like it really seems like these people think AI engineers sit in meetings and go "okay, we can either free the working class from their chains or end world hunger. Which one should we pick?"
"That's boring, can we just automate erotic anime art instead?"
"Mike you're a genius"
Also, screwing up art has less severe repercussions than, oh... almost anything else.
Edit: I'm not insulting artists, I'm insulting the competence of AI. Fuck-ups with AI art don't kill people.
