Nobody cared when it was the artists, the songwriters, the music studios, the film companies. But impacting jobs of the programmers - now, heaven forbid.
From what I can tell, most programmers are more ok with LLMs directly replacing them than artists are. I tend to agree that it is better to replace programmers, and protect artists.
It doesn’t yet do prompt to 100% finished artifact.
For concept artists and illustrators at least who have very generic or commercial styles Diffusion models can create a final artifact that passes as good enough to a lot of clients.
Think developers would feel a bit different if they were in the same situation today.
