imagine how not-dead the pictures you want could be if you just threw a tenner or two at an artist instead! sadly it's people like you that's pushing them into precarity.
@froztbyte Honestly the things I've used generative AI for I would never have paid someone to do. It just added something extra. It's also about speed, I can spend 10 minutes getting a fairly decent image versus days needed if I can even find someone (I don't know, I've never had to!). The problem is that yes, this will take away lower end jobs for those who do currently pay artists.
Not sure what you're trying to win here. Absolution? A cookie? Someone saying that oh, your AI slop is probably fine and cool and the thing we don't like is those stupid other people's AI crap, not clever special guys like yours?

so busy doing things because you could, you never paused to ponder whether you should
