    Of course a hand drawn image by someone who can draw well is better - the artist practiced for years and took hours to draw this. On the other hand whoever took second place used a few minutes and had no training to produce something that was probably quite nice, too.

    It’s this ‘everybody can produce art in seconds’ that is both good and bad. On the one hand I like how I can get a image of whatever I want for pennies, on the other hand I can understand how artist fear devaluation of their art.

      Unpopular opinion here, but I feel like AI “art” will make my art the handmade furniture of art. AI art will forever be seen as cheap and my stuff, even if crappy, will be appreciated because a real person made it.

      Lots of revenue streams to be lost along the way though. Mostly corporate and marketing ones, I reckon.
