Watched a guy at the Columbus art fair sell out his booth in 3 hours while the painter next to him stared at her phone
She showed me her setup after, an AI image tool on a tablet that made 'custom' pet portraits in 90 seconds for $40 a pop, and she said she stopped painting because she could not compete with the speed, which is when it hit me that the machine did not beat her art, it beat her rent, so now I want to know if anyone else has seen a real artist quit over this exact math.
