i wouldn't be so very hostile just because you wanna dunk on stock art brokers. fine art, actual artsy human art, that sorta thing - it's understandable to be annoyed about that potentially being replaced.
if you flooded the 'market' with all this robot-generated stuff you'd be erasing one of the strongest incentives - recognition and empathy - for people to actually engage in art. it's already easy to be drowned out by a million other artists no matter your skill level, but imagine the raw drownage when there's billion dollar AI data centers in the mix too.
articles and shit are already AI generated, fuck em, who cares. but the real art, which frankly this AI painting fills the role of (it's quite beautiful), is probably best in human hands if we are to keep ourselves from sliding down the ever-steeper hill of soul death.
