the use of a.i. generated images on this app have become so normalized, and it's just sad. it's not as bad as the people using it and masquerading as real artists and selling them to unsuspecting buyers, but it still helps train the a.i. model to be better at generating images, which would, in turn, threaten the livelihood of actual artists. because why would you spend money on someone when a.i. can do something similar for free, right?
if this continues, corporations will definitely start laying off their employees in favor of a.i.
animated shows will be done by a.i. one of these days, and that's not something i want. such soulless entertainment is horrible.
hell, even writers would likely soon phase out of existence since people can just ask a.i. to write easily customizable stories for them. a.i. as a tool may be helpful, but a.i. as a generative object is a threat to art as we know it.
