You may think the AI art trend is cute and quirky, but your artist friends see you okay with using an $8 app and having it steal artwork to give you an image you could’ve commissioned that would’ve paid their bills minus some company profiting off of theft and your likeness

Artists are the most privileged annoying ppl on the internet.
get a job if you arent getting enough commissions. Choosing to do free lance anything and then blaming others that u dont get enough work -_-

If you're good people will pay you. Because you can be way more specific than any (current) AI program with commissions.

I think that AI is good for generic Artstation photobashes and speed paints, but it absolutely does not stand up to scrutiny or detailed inputs.

I think it's always gonna struggle with advanced compositions with multiple characters interacting, dynamic action and odd perspectives. Heck, even when you just want to communicate a clear message through composition it'll cause issues.
These are things that you really can't properly verbalize easily through prompts. As such the AI isn't the problem, the layman's inability to properly conceptualize and communicate is and it'll be hard for tech to overcome that.
Then again you don't need to be a master artist to solve it either, you could approximate a lot of it with posable 3d models. That said knowing what, how and why you'd arrange these things still takes some training and composition overall will probably become a much important aspect for artists as AI cowtools take over much of the rendering.

Even now, someone with basic art software skills cam get a lot more mileage out of artgen than the prompt-only layman. Most (all?) variants can take an image as an input, so doing something like posing some 3D models in Blender and using it as a starting input can help generate more complex compositions tremendously.

It won't always need to be driven by text prompts. You can already drive it almost entirely using images, eventually you'll probably have a tool like photoshop where you can specify exactly what goes where in a 3d space and have it generate it for you. You'll probably even be able to dynamically modify the camera angle and shit in the scene it's created for you.

Artcels are almost exclusively rich white kids larpering as poor. No poor or middle class parent is going to let their kid go to art school.

A lot of artcels didn’t even go to art school, they just drew a lot and expect to charge ridiculous prices for a hobby.

Selling art without a loicense? That's 5 to 10 years.
