Take a few hours to mess around with Stable Diffusion before you do this. It is a really bad time to become a concept artist.

It's a tool, come on. It'll do no more 'damage' than template sites did for good designers.
It's an illustrator apocalypse.
I believe the rise of AI art has shown, more than anything, that many of us here in our tech bubble have no idea what professional artists actually do.

I don't doubt that ai art will have a significant impact but come on....the job involves way more. And ai is not as close to this job as the ads suggest. You only have to take a minute to learn about the average workday of a professional artist.

Surely the industry will find more ways to make the life of artists more miserable with this.

I worked on early versions of Midjourney
Nice. In that case welcome to the machine.
