Well, you have to push all the noise to the side and understand the humanistic aspect of it. EMAD is already making pitches directly to movie and game studios. That will impact how many artists get hired and what leverage they have to form unions and negotiate wages.

So it will cost them money directly and on the consumer side of ai art most people aren't going to make significant money selling ai art as NFTs.

It's only the service sellers that will make real money off of ai art.

It's going to cost people jobs, money, no matter how you look at it. Even if someone were to learn how to "incorporate" ai art into their "work flow" (which sounds a lot like #learntocode) the human aspect is still a major bottle neck when ai can spit something out that's "good enough" in 10 seconds or less.

And that "good enough" will take eyeballs off of artwork that could take an artists a week to produce. That means less commissions for the artist.

And not just looking at what ai art is today, the software is improving rapidly. At some point it's just not going to make any sense to produce artwork by hand and artwork will be worthless as a whole.

I see some amazing ai art images on reddit that people gloss over because there's just so much of it today. People only care about the ai art they create themselves.

It's ai art deflation.

It's like how they keep diamonds in a vault and bring them out slowly because if most of the diamonds in the world hit the market all at once diamonds would be worthless due to deflation.
