Now this is where I have my little rant about 'art' Art represents two different things. That pretty picture in IKEA is 'art' the Mona Lisa is also 'art'. In one context it's a necessarily human endeavour, on the other, it's something to make you buy one box of corn flakes over another.

I wish we had 2 different words for these things. Artist has a different ring than graphic designer.

One deserves to be protected, and I don't think will go away anyway, the other may well be automated away, but will invoke the former to protect itself.

Painters were not (entirely) replaced by photographers. Pretty sure that even with Dall-E around, there will still be a market for pure human creation, or even hybrid one.

lolno, artists aren't getting replaced any time soon. try getting something with a transparent background from it or more than 2 layers of composition. it falls apart when you try to do anything with a complex prompt and you have to describe the prompt, let alone the fact pretty much everyone who buys art likes to finetune it which would be awful to do here
