If 1 person can make 10x the art, then 1 person can do the job of 10, meaning 9 people are out of work.
and means lower costs, see: "reasons people like the march of progress for 100"
Objectively incorrect. The actual costs of AI "art" are astronomically higher than the costs of hiring artists. When was the last time an artist needed a fission reactor and enough potable water to supply a moderately sized city over the course of their lives, much less for the completion of a project?
The corpos running the scam just haven't made the financial costs to end users align with reality yet. They're trying to destroy livelihoods and get businesses stuck in vendor lock-in first so that they have no competition when they open the valves of the real costs. Generative AI under this hyper-capitalist regime is a net negative for the species.
Or it means 10x the art in the world.
If a process that takes 10 weeks for producing an animated movie/show now only takes 1 week, that's a significant reduction in production timeline meaning more can be produced, or that time can be used to improve other production tasks
