AI image generation is just one thing and artists don’t have to use it! There are many ways to create art!.

maybe there will be more specific and more ethical AI art tools that help artists in the future…? :S.I’m sure AI can help with super technical/architectural/engineering designs and coding but I’m not knowledgeable there.

it discourages me instead given how the training dataset is implemented and how people exploit/profit from it by trampling/violating the rights of others – it feels like the damage is done by the time legal stuff catches up.

this youtube channel suggests adapting and using AI as a tool but I don’t find joy in creating that way.

Or change careers because it’s so hard to survive and making a living from art as it is, given how quality isn’t always valued and how saturated it is (plus lots of AI generated artwork in the mix to compete and replace a number of low/mid artist/creative jobs).

or businesswise you incrementally innovate what came before at a slow, safe pace – so it’s not super creative in comparison.

do things with your own creative projects.

in terms of “what to do about it” they say you need to adapt to survive:.

reality hurts, how art and creativity is increasingly devalued in a world of capitalism, how nobody cares about it when it comes to business and all I can do is keep doing my own thing anyway :’).

business people generally don’t really want to take risks yet that is what creativity entails.

great overview on why being creative in any field is just a struggle, whether you’re reaching people and “making it” or if you’re too complacent/safe to evolve.
