I think those are exactly the people in the most danger. If you are doing album covers or book covers, packaging art, logos and such an AI can crank out 1000 variants in minutes. Most working artists aren't painting portraits or doing gallery shows. They are doing the dull normal art that AIs are now great at.

The very best artists will survive but it’s not a black and white case of some artists get paid and others do not. Like everything, it’s a spectrum of earnings and I am arguing that a significant percentage of revenue that goes to artists as a whole is now going to go towards those who make AI art.

If you can get 100 options for the same price that you’d previously pay for 1, this will ABSOLUTELY affect people who currently create art to pay their bills.
