I don’t really see how this has any impact outside of digital art. People are still buying paintings even though photos exist, and still buying sculptures even though cnc machines exist.

I also think the output isn’t yet good enough to be usable without some human intervention (fixing hands, spot treatments, etc.)

That’s just until AI combines with CNC to produce unique sculptures. Which won’t take long.

The impact has already happened, this will accelerate, paintings and even sculptures can be now bought dirt cheap online as it's being mass-produced by machines in China. Now fine art, graphic design etc are next to go.

Probably being produced by factory workers, not machines. (It's like clothing - clothes are often cheap now, but every one of them was man-made.)

And Chinese wages are rising, so it'll eventually be too low-level for them.
