I feel like AI art will become so saturated that we’ll start turning to teenagers on deviant art to do $5 commissions

    It’s certainly feasible that, as with other technology, it starts out controversial but then becomes mundane and overdone. It’s not exactly the same as how people have started collecting records again, but records might be a decent metaphor for it.

    But, no guarantees. Not every piece of disruptive technology ultimately catches on. (Smellovision, for example.)

    Probably no. I don’t like art because a human made it, I like it because it looks / sounds / feels good. I presume most other consumers feel the same way generally.

    I don’t understand the odd jump to teenagers on Deviantart. You sound like you have an axe to grind.

    I don’t know why you attribute to the deviantart community the status of teenagers, and I also don’t know why you think that there aren’t talented and seasoned artists all over the world making beautiful expressions in a diverse spectrum of media.

    Are you bitter about something? I don’t like AI art whatsoever and I don’t think it deserves to be called art. It’s sewage. I also think that individuals who like that crap distinguish themselves as unsophisticated and dumb. I think most people with taste feel this way. So what’s got you worried?

      I’m not bitter, just wondering if we’ll start seeing video games with “made with real art! made with real voice acting!” as selling points as well as the “losers” making lots of money and selling art becomes a bigger internet business venture.

        OK I hear ya. I think like anything, a low-quality, low-effort, low-cost product will appeal to a certain demographic, and there will be no shortage of bottom-feeders who will peddle it for a buck.

    I agree that humans are going to like human-made art better. Well, at least educated humans.

    But I think the conclusion does not work. The feeling of saturation will stay, but the amount of generated “art” won’t be reduced by it, and so the demand for human-made art will remain small.
