Raw LLM Responses

Ive played around with AI the last six months or so: I found it to be another source for reference but that it couldnt replace me actually doing the work. All I know is this: artist feared for their jobs when the camera came out. All it did was create a new jondra of art. It created photographer jobs, print jobs ect. When the camera phone came out, photographers took a real hit. Suddenly everyone thought they could do portrait photography. Now, that they have been out for a while people are waking up to the fact they still might want to hire a photographer. Meanwhile we gained more artist in the industry. Im old enough to have been involved in the digital art "revolution". When people who made clip art for a living complained about people making desktop graphics on their computes. Right at the start of that Corel was the art program of choice. Since Ive had to learn Adobe just to keep up. Digital art made it possible to have more jobs in the art field. As it became more accepted jobs grew for artist. I also self taught myself web programming, went to college for it and by the end of the two years software had been created that easily replaced what I had learn. What Im saying is its not all gloom and doom. It will probably open up newer jobs like you said. We may loose some but gain many more. As for me, having been in the tech rat race since my son was born in 97: Im happy to just go back to traditional art. Just sit and paint a painting and improve those skills and not get overly caught up in the new wave of tech. I do believe people are going to value "real" artist more. Arts always been a luxury item. If anything it will make the value of a real painting go up.
