Well, you'd think #AI and #generativeAI like #DALL·E wouldn't be a problem for #fanfiction and #fanart, where you can't own the IP or sell it, but you'd be wrong. People posing as fan artists and LoRa's and artist style stealing are all in the article. The fandom is #MLP. There are links to other related issues.
Every couple of days I get approached on Discord by AI scam artists. And I am sure it will get worse.
It's sad. I've bought fan art from real artists that are so good, I've suggested they branch out and find a commercial outlet. I've commissioned them for cover art.
If this trend continues and AI kills all human artists off, creativity will stagnate. No further innovative styles, just ad nauseum repetition of what we've seen posed differently or put on different backgrounds.
It is a very human behavior to go with what requires the least amount of work to produce results. It's how rap took over the world and exists in every language. Every. Language. Even Bushman. It requires no training or instrument. Yes, I like some rap songs, I'm not ragging on the form, but everyone can do it and the musically inclined can produce passible songs. Maybe it is democratizing versus rock & roll or jazz, etm., but it is also often monochromatic and repetitive.
When #AI and #generativeAI stop producing monsters and hallucinations, I face it, it will become widely used. /The reason that companies like #Apple are interested in #machinelearning and #ai, is it will push the computing envelope—and sales./ Having to pay for renders, and, worse, having to wait for them, competing with hundreds or thousands for a shared computing resource, is not sustainable. Super-GPUs and ML chips are the future of home computing so you can use your AI tools at home.
Before long AI will be feeding off AI. In a homogenizing feedback loop. Without real artists, it will cannibalize itself. It reminds me a bit of Jack Vance's "Dying Earth" backstory.
Eventually, we will have a secondary market for craft artists, like we have one for craft beer. An alternative to bland mass-produced cheap goods.

Your insight in your reply is so good, please edit it and add AI, generativeAI, and ChatGPT tags so more people will read it... or copy mine.
