"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

moodboarding, design concepting, D&D scene setting/ npc portraits, making stupid images of friends that would used to mean 40 minutes of photoshop (and not everyone knows how to photoshop)
No-one would bother to pay an artist for any if that, you would either copy images from the internet, do without, or try to do it yourself. AI has just massively lowered the skill barrier for doing it yourself.
That makes it a commodity, not art.
That's an interesting distinction for something that would otherwise require an artist.
