Definitely AI generated art. If you asked me 3-4 years ago I'd tell you there is no way neural networks would understand how to generate a nice looking image. The fact that high quality AI art is way less expensive computationally than generating text still confuses me. Like, I can generate beautiful 1024x1024 images within seconds but this text generation model needs 20gb of vram? Huh?!
The idea for so long was that creative professionals would be safe from automation (writing, drawing, painting, etc) has turned out to be so wrong it's sad.
Nobody is safe. I'm only hoping to get ahead just a little bit to pay off my debts before I suddenly can't find good work.
