Comics Community (OC) AI 'art' and the future
Could be controversial but I'm just gonna say it... I don't like AI... and for me it was never about it not looking good. There are obviously more factors to this whole thing, like about people losing jobs, about how the whole thing is just stealing, and everything like that but I'm just focusing on one fundamental aspect that I think about a lot... I just wanted to draw what I feel...! 🥲🥲 Sorry about the cringe but I actually live for cringe 💖

If you have no way to support your life as an artist because no one sees your work or compensates you for your work due to the glut of AI (especially on-demand AI) "art", then yes, AI might actually prevent people from making art.
Art is not just some side hobby. Even for those that it is, they are inspired by art that is created by career artists (paintings, photography, comics, movies, television, music, etc.). If those are no longer sustainable careers because the AI will just do it, it chokes out any real new invention of art.
