This guy hit the nail on the head in regards to this whole AI art kerfuffle.

i'm a writer, and theoretically i should feel threatened by stuff like ChatGPT, but i just kinda don't. not yet, anyway.
every idiot that wants to write yet another story about how the human and the elf save the planet with the help of the gods by killing the big bad goblin overlord is going to be shit out of business, yeah. and every idiot that wants to illustrate that, too.
the solution?
just get more creative, be more original. ChatGPT has a 600 "idea" limit per session. how many "ideas" does the average human draw upon when writing a story? probably a fuck of a lot more than 600, whether we realize it or not. same thing with visual art. right now, if you give Stable Diffusion a prompt that hasn't been done a million times before, chances are it's going to fuck it up and need human intervention. i don't think that's something that will be entirely solved within the decade.
funnily enough we might see a resurgence of real, meaningful art once the market for the unoriginal is flooded beyond belief...
Yeah that's really the biggest issue with AI in general, coherence. If you wanted a series of images or a long story, only people can really do that. AI's memory just doesn't work that well.
Could make a decent Marvel movie these days though.
The main way to get anything coherent is with embeddings on a specific character. From my playing around with it it seems to be the only way to make a character look consistent and even then some are hit or miss if you add any variable to it. It's worse for backgrounds, they're all just very random. Once they figure out how to make stuff more consistent is when a lot of artists will have to get a bit worried. But before? Nah, most people are good.
,The vast majority of coomer bait artists will suffer though, no need to pay 30 bucks for titties if AI makes them for free.
It can't write a whole book, but it can write 25 separate sections that I can mold into a book pretty easily.
Hell, as a writer you could draw inspiration from the generated stories into something more coherent. Artists can also. The "theft" can very well go both ways. How could you possibly prove you took from ai?
You should feel about half as threatened by GPT as you are by any other dimestore human author.
