I imagine it will affect artists much the same way wordpress has affected web designers.

Maybe everyone will have an AI image as their desktop wallpaper, but if you've got cash you'll want something with provenance and rarity to brag about.

Also, I think creatives are valued for their imagination. If you wanted something decent, would you pay someone to sift through a million AI generated images to find a gem, or just pay an artist you like to create one for you?

1) That is a tiny share of the market. Most of the market is - I have a game / online publication / book, and I need an illustration xyz. Which this AI seems to solve.

2) how do you even prove your rare art wasn't painted by an AI?

1) Sure there's a lot of work for that kind of thing but creatives typically earn a pittance. I doubt an AI could meet your specific requirements without having to spend hours(?) tweaking it or sifting through countless variations for the 'one'.

2) Because we haven't built a machine that can paint (etc.) with traditional materials like a skilled artist?
