Raw LLM Responses

@zman948 Obviously I don’t want to gatekeep people’s creativity. But the thing is, in a few years, who’s to say that technology this advanced (programs like midjourney) won’t be available to the general public? If that happens, then there will be a significant decrease in commissions for ALL artists. Some of which survive off of commissions. It’s just a terrifying thought that the thing you love doing most in the entire world won’t matter to people. That it won’t be possible for you to have a career in something you’re so passionate about because people don’t need you anymore. This isn’t coming from a place of selfishness. It’s coming from a place of fear for my future, which I already feel enough of considering how saturated the art market is. I’ve spent my whole life creating art with the intentions of someday having a career in art. Specifically, I want to be an art teacher. But once again, I feel that if this technology becomes available to everyone, then there will be nothing for me. My art will once again just be seen as silly doodles and a “nice hobby”. Tell me, in the example you gave, what happens to me, the person who has dedicated a portion of their life to learn their craft to be able to help people turn their ideas into reality? The person who has educated themself for years SPECIFICALLY so they can create things for people? What will I do? How will I make a living? Sure, people don’t have to rely on me anymore, which might be good for them. But what was wrong with relying on me in the first place? And what if I relied on them relying on me?
