I marvel at this new text-to-image generation technology that enables anyone to express themselves. I am aware of how it commoditizes real art. Regardless, as a professional Technical Artist among other things, I will incorporate ai tools and services that enhance my market value. Everyone in the right mind will. It is the free market that will select faster and more productive artists and it is corporations that are investing billions into the technology without a care for how it displaces traditional artists. It is an unavoidable future and reality we must face.
