    Every indication is that by the time the tools are ready for mainstream adoption in terms of photoshop the code will be optimized enough you don’t have to run it on unholy asemblages of parts. Looking st thr stuff gpt4 puts out. It would take years of gpt2 processing. If we crunch that down as engery savings we cna hope gpt5 will be abel to just use long term storage instead of processing. At least for consumer grade stuff. As to the rest, you can’t blame AI. Capitlaism was doing that anyway. Every kind of professional art has in a rough state lately. The issue here is techbros actually made a new tech that works. If they didn’t they woudl have just found an innovate way to exploit labor further. So this isn’t as bad as it could have been

        Most art sucks. scroll through deviant art you know I am right. This is a toy that will eventually let non-artists make art that sucks. Which is fun. It would still require an artist to make AI art come out well. Where you are at emotionally is where the old animators were when flash player came out. Did skilled animators lose their position in the market? Do we get to see cool.new linds of animation and ideas now? Was the proliferation of kinds of animation we get to see worth it? Are the animators who still work miserably exploited anyway? Everything is always gonna get worse all the time. Having a thing that lets more people enjoy art seems like a better outcome than the usual enshittification we expect. I am not sure where you disagree with me. Lets look at a case study. One of the big vfx channels on YouTube, corridor, sometimes uses AI to help streamline production for their videos. Is that bad?
