    How does it increase earning potential? Best case it would flood the market with shit and result in less income due to either dilution of spending amongst thousands of idiots using “ai” or destroy the need for a market in the first place. If everything is ai why would I pay the “artist” instead of just going to stablediffusion or something similar?

      Why would you hire a photographer instead of using your phone?

        Because phones are still not able to shoot as well as a professional camera, never mind the skills needed to frame or light the scene correctly.

          Why would you hire a photographer instead of renting a camera, then?

          …because you know shit about photography (I presume, for the sake of argument). Why would you hire an AI artist over doing it yourself, then?

            I’m predicting it now. There will be either an app or a bot that collects all the photos taken at a wedding by guests and generates “professional” photos of the event. So you won’t need to frame the photos anymore. You will only need enough perspectives to predict what a framed photo would look like.

            I’m against AI replacing human creativity. This is just a prediction. Not saying I want it to happen.
