Since Twitter added "AI Image Generation"[0] to my explore I've been shocked (and amused) at the hostility "trad" artists are showing to "AI artists"

How's this going to play out in the near future?

"X are not taking Y well" is all about evolving.

Print media is not taking Digital Media well.

Bookstores are not taking Online Book Retailers well.

Traditional taxi services are not taking Ride-hailing apps well.

Brick and mortar stores are not taking E-commerce well.

Cable TV providers are not taking Streaming services well.

Traditional classroom education is not taking Online Learning well.

Hotels are not taking Airbnb well.

Movie theaters are not taking Streaming services well.

kind of like software developers not taking GPT4 well.

or humans and huggingGPT

or ChemCrow and Chemists.

kind of reminds me of the early days of the internet.
