Art is dead. Artists are obselete.

We will never see original or genuine media again. Companies will never hire real artists again.

Even at my own job I've already been told a number of times to "just find an AI for that" instead of "wasting precious time" using my OWN earned and practiced skills.

And I work in a mall T-Shirt shop. What does this say for the major corporations and studios that artists dream of getting into?

This isn't even mentioning the hoaxes people will create, the revenge porn (especially of children), and other vile things which will now be possible and unstoppable.

The people who defend "fictional CP" are now rejoicing because they can have an infinite supply of the real thing without ever touching a real child.

And that's the key word here. Unstoppable. There's no killing this. Put restrictions on one, and someone else will create a new one that allows it.

The only hope for artists now is if there becomes a market for traditional pen and paper drawing, physical paintings, and sculpture. For theater and dance. For acoustic concerts. Anything real-life and tangible that can't possibly be faked.

But for 99% of people, they'll just say "Why watch a person do it when it's on the computer for free?"

Nobody will notice a real artist in a sea oversaturated with AI, and if they do, they'll either accuse us of faking it or tell us "Why bother making it when you can have AI do it for you?" (already happening by the way)

Yeah this has to be ragebait. The prices on the site are RICH too lmao

Didn't see a lot of artist ask games, wanted to make a silly one.
