If you look back in history, there was a point in time when only the rich and wealthy could afford to have artists create paintings for them. A portrait was reserved for the aristocratic and nobility.

Now, anyone can go into TJ Maxx or Home Goods and pick up cheap printed artwork from China. Want a portrait? Snap a picture with your phone and print it out. No skill required.

It was once the case that if you wanted a bespoke sculpture, you either needed to have the skill or the wealth to pay an artist to create one. Now anyone can 3D print one or use a CNC machine or injection molding to create one.

Is there something inherently wrong with that? Does that mean that award winning photographers and acclaimed modern painters are degraded to the same level as anyone with a phone? Are world renowned sculptors and artists no longer a thing because of 3D printing and cheap access to injection molding?

    > Really good chance with no audience Picasso just does something else too.

The people that want to be really good at their craft will continue to do so. The people that appreciate the effort, artistry, and skill will continue to do so. The presence of cheap mass produced wine doesn't degrade expensive wine; the presence of cheap mass produced whisky doesn't obviate the market for expensive small batch whisky. It's the opposite; in fact, it elevates it onto a pedestal.

But more than that, the power of generative AI is to create an experience that otherwise doesn't exist because no game or visual experience can be tailored exactly to my tastes, preferences, and style. What gen AI promises is that every person can get exactly the experience that they are seeking by simply tweaking the input.
