Comment on Not everything needs to be Art
Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 1 week agoPaying a stock photo “artist” or some AI slop “artist”, I’m not sure it makes any difference. The stuff AI generates is already so sloppy generic corporate bs that it’s hard to think of anyone deserving to paid anything for it anyway. It’s mimicking a horrid generic art style and a horrid generic art style like that isn’t owned by a particular artist anyway.

Honestly that’s kinda worse, because it’s specifically replacing entry-level jobs

Replacing jobs in one place and giving them elsewhere. It is what it is.

It’s not giving them elsewhere.
There is not and will not be an abundance of prompt “engineering” jobs, it’s not creating new industries, and it’s not significantly lowering the bar for people to start their own businesses is existing industries.
What it is doing is data-mining on a scale never seen before, and increasing profit margins for megacorp business owners.

AI is a huge growing industry with a lot of jobs. Now instead of some corporate slop “artist” it’s some corporate AI “prompt artist” doing work (albeit behind the scenes). That’s just how it goes. And I’m sure some jobs die off but that has always just been how it is, not as many jobs in coal mining either as there used to be.
