I don't really know what you're getting at. My point is that DALL-E/Stable Diffusion hasn't cut into the market for actual paid artists. Like, at all. Unlike what the doomsayers predicted. Software developers should feel equally as threatened, which is to say, not at all.
> There is no financial incentive to replace paid artists. There is an enormous financial incentive to reduce software development headcount.
Older folks will remember when the solution to this was to outsource development to low-cost regions like South American or Southeast Asia. You can ask ChatGPT how that went.
