I’m getting at the fact that “art” isn’t a major cost for the most valuable companies in the world. Software development labor is an enormous cost.

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.
