Who writes the prompts? Who sifts through the unusable results, to pick out the good ones? Who adjusts and deals with those good ones?

I'm baffled, articles like this usually have responses that are either

a) 'Future is now, there it is, AI takes over everything and instantaneously, we'll all lose our jobs'

or b) 'But it can't do X yet and never will', with the goalpost being moved around constantly, based on what it currently can or can not do.

An intern, maybe. Definitely not someone who trained all their life to do art for a living.

I’ve noticed that just about everyone I see defending this tech against possible ramifications for artists are usually… not artists.

Well big brain, where there used to be 20 jobs there would now be 5. Yes, there are still jobs but far fewer.

And I didn’t say either of those things you wrote.

I see - discussion with you seems pointless, but I'm happy you were at least able to do the math on disappearing jobs before the rest of us.
