Great take on all this. I’m not really tapped in to the gaming world so this was all quite logical while being eye opening at the same time. I don’t know if you are familiar with @timtadder ‘s work on IG. I find it staggeringly beautiful. And he also spends a huge amount of time talking about his philosophy around #AIart (I’ve seen it referred to as synthography by other folks - love the term.). He also talks about the burgeoning field of prompt engineering and his ongoing journey to refine/control an AI for creative purposes. Keep up the good stuff.
I keep viewing the AI art question from the position of a consumer who is really only tangentially aware of the professional art industry. Like, I KNOW there are people who work in an office like me but instead of JIRA and Excel they use... I dunno probably also JIRA and Excel but with drawing/creating as their primary work product.
Even setting aside that industry though there is the freelance artist, like you brought up, who can’t really miss a commission. As much as I downplay the effect these generative models will have I can’t deny the fact that people WILL be impacted, someone WILL lose their job, and that sucks. I hope this new paradigm will open more doors than it closes.
Scott, this is is one of the better and more nuanced commentaries about the implications of AI I've read, and my business is technical writing (https://bit.ly/404OrtB). By the way, I suggest that Film Sack do "Boss Level" (http://www.ddmcd.com/movies/boss).

Thank you, Bruce! Really appreciate that!
I laughed at how the AI explained the punch line with confidence.
