The price comparison is that it costs $0 to have a genAI make your logo and more than that to pay a human.

At least until enshittifaction hits big time.

From my money, at the moment? Sure, ofc. For the world, and through taxation and other governmental money collection methods? Nuh uh.

The great majority of not terminally online people just don't care about machine generated images, videos and logos.

I want a brewery to make a line of beers called slop. Stout slop, lager slop, etc. But hire an artist to draw all the labels to look like ai slop.

ugh same. All I heard for decades is "hey you should pay artists" and "artists don't make much money" and then as soon as I actually need a competent artist they've vanished off the planet.

Damn, that's grim.

Times when I or someone close to me have needed to hire artists, we've been able to find the right person for the job through professional networks. It's sad to think that due to real artists struggling to find work, that many of these professional networks are liable to collapse, making it harder to find the remaining artists who are still working

Ugh, I've run into this as well.

Several times now I've commissioned a professional artist to create posters of D&D/Pathfinder groups I've run campaigns with. I'm in a new campaign that started this month and did an initial look around to begin scouting out an artist for another and my god. Having to sift through all the obvious AI "portfolios" is bad enough, let alone trying to suss out the ones that are using it in less obvious ways. I've settled on filtering my search to only artists for whom I can find works prior to 2023 or so. It's insane.

what was the price range you offered?

Higher end card can do higher resolution.
