I don't mean to make this as a demoralization thread but I also don't want to sugar coat it as someone who doodled in art in the past....

Ai is 100% without a doubt going to 100% replace artists in the future at a 100% percentage chance.

Guys, I didn't really dive into the Ai thing but I figured I wanted to start doing youtube videos for shits and giggles. I delved into making gooner content to hone my prompt technique (as you do) and playing around with the tech of what it's capable of and I have to say....

Holy moly...

For the price of like $100 I have 30 videos of gooner content: VIDEOS that would cost thousands of dollars if made traditionally.

It's actually crazy. I was ignoring this medium for a bit, thinking it was a meme and a toy (and it still may be, though I'm starting to become a believer) but this was a soft renaissance. Akin to the likes of when the internet came about to begin with.

If you haven't played with ai and have turned a blind eye and are putting your head in the sand... let this be a wake up call.

If you're making art for fun, all the more power to you. I respect that. But if you're trying to make art content other than traditional art gallery type stuff... yeah sorry, it's so over it's cooked at a 1000 degrees.

Anyways, thanks for reading.
